The hands-on Master of Counter Terrorism program equips you to assess real-life counterterrorism situations. You'll explore both theoretical and practical aspects of counterterrorism studies, examining growing threats at local, national and global levels and their impact on counterterrorism methods and policies, along with the development of Australia's counterterrorism framework.

The Master of Security and Strategic Studies develops your ability to evaluate modern security, defense and strategic issues. You'll gain insights into the forces shaping significant geopolitical matters, address complex non-traditional security threats, and enhance your analytical skills to assess strategic decisions while understanding the progression of Australia's strategic priorities.
