Graduate Certificate in International Security


Course Details

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. 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 Adelaides 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: 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.
