Master of International Relations and Master of Strategy and Security
ProviderMacquarie UniversityCourse overview
The industry-focused Master of International Relations examines how international debates inform policy decisions, institutional responses and cross-border dynamics. The degree integrates political and IR theory with applied perspectives on technology, security, migration, international political economy and environmental politics, enabling you to engage with the full spectrum of contemporary global issues. Deep links with government, NGOs, internationally oriented banks, think tanks and global organisations offer sustained exposure to professional practice and strong employment opportunities, while on-campus and online study options add valuable flexibility. The Master of Strategy and Security will equip you with the capabilities to address the most pressing security challenges confronting your nation or organisation. Bringing together world-class academics with leading government and industry professionals, the interdisciplinary degree offers an exciting and dynamic learning environment. Furthermore, with its blend of high-level conceptual thinking and practical, industry-driven problem solving – and three globally relevant specialisations – it provides flexibility to shape your studies around your career goals and a strong entry point into the security industry.
