Master of Intelligence and Master of Strategy and Security

The Master of Intelligence will equip you with both the knowledge and applied skills required to succeed in government, national security, policy and corporate roles. You’ll study the evolution of the intelligence enterprise in Australia and internationally, while engaging directly with real-world concerns through simulations, supervised projects and internships. With specialist units in open-source intelligence, leadership and cyber intelligence, and electives in security, counterterrorism and criminology, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor your degree while building the advanced capabilities employers are seeking. 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.
