The global landscape following the Cold War has seen the emergence of diverse security threats. Conventional power struggles between nations have resurfaced as China and Russia challenge the current global framework, while emerging societal and economic security concerns have complicated our perception of stability. To address these evolving threats, institutions now require professionals equipped with specialized expertise to interpret intricate geopolitical matters and develop effective responses.
The Master of Security and Strategic Studies equips students to assess modern defense and strategic dilemmas. You'll explore the driving forces behind significant geopolitical developments, examine complex non-conventional security threats, and enhance your analytical capabilities to assess strategic decisions and Australia's evolving strategic priorities.
