Analyse and manage international risk  

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 Diploma in International Security prepares you to play a senior role.

   

What will you do?

Studied over 12 months full-time, the degree will equip you with the specialist knowledge, awareness and skills to diagnose emergent cross-border security challenges and assess sustainable policy or practice solutions.

The program is designed and delivered by Adelaide’s internationally recognised academics, whose research informs Australian 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:

  • high-level skills in identifying and analysing emerging global security threats
  • broad understanding 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 analysing threats in a national security agency. You might help develop risk-mitigation strategies for an international non-government organisation operating in conflict zones. Perhaps you’ll contribute to Indo-Pacific policy for Australia’s growing defence industry.

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