Understand emerging global threats

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 Adelaide's 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.

You could find yourself monitoring threats in a national security agency. You might help an international non-government organisation manage operational risk in conflict zones. Perhaps you'll interpret and apply regional security policy within Australia's growing defence industry.

• Learn from world class academics
• Strong links to industry
• Gain a global perspective on world security
