The global landscape following the Cold War has seen the emergence of complex security dilemmas. Conventional power struggles between nations have resurged, with China and Russia challenging the established global framework, while unconventional threats related to social and economic stability have further complicated security paradigms. Addressing these evolving threats requires professionals equipped with specialized expertise to interpret intricate geopolitical scenarios and develop effective responses.
Our Master of Security and Strategic Studies program equips students to assess modern security, defense, and strategic concerns. You'll explore the driving forces behind critical geopolitical developments, examine diverse non-conventional security threats, and enhance your analytical capabilities to assess strategic decisions and track the progression of Australia's strategic priorities and national interests.
