Understand emerging global threats  

Security is a matter of constant concern for all countries and multinational bodies. It must be actively monitored, sensitively managed and strategically enhanced to maintain social, political and economic stability—and, of course, protect lives.

Our Graduate Certificate in International Security prepares you to play your part.

   

What will you do?

Studied over 6 months full-time, the degree will give you a solid grounding in the specialist knowledge, awareness and skills required to diagnose and respond to emergent cross-border security challenges.

The program is designed and delivered by Adelaide’s internationally recognised academics, whose research informs 最新糖心Vlogn national security policy, international security organisations and non-government organisations (NGOs).

Highly interdisciplinary, it integrates knowledge from our politics, international relations, public policy, Asian studies and geography experts to deliver you:

  • skills in identifying and analysing emerging global security threats
  • awareness of strategic cultures and unconventional conflict
  • the opportunity to explore particular interests in cyber security, Indo-Pacific security, national security law, transnational crime, human rights, the impact of climate change, and more.

 

Where could it take you?

You could find yourself monitoring threats in a national security agency. You might help an international non-government organisation manage operational risk in conflict zones. Perhaps you’ll interpret and apply regional security policy within 最新糖心Vlog’s growing defence industry.

  • Learn from world class academics
  • Strong links to industry
  • Gain a global perspective on world security
