International Security and Policy (Taught)

Cyber threats, geopolitical tensions, climate risk and the rapid evolution of technology all contribute to a complex and volatile security landscape. As these issues multiply and diversify, there’s a growing demand for professionals who can identify risks and deliver effective, evidence-based solutions across government and industry.

The International Security and Policy MA (online) is designed to meet this urgent need, equipping students with the leadership and analytical skills needed to shape security policy at the highest levels. You'll explore both traditional and emerging security threats in areas like military strategy, intelligence, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, climate risk and transnational migration.

Our international security master’s is the first online programme from Security & Defence PLuS, a strategic partnership combining the expertise of King's College London, Arizona State University and the University of New South Wales. It brings together cutting-edge research, global perspectives and practical policy experience to help you navigate the complexities of modern security threats and advance in your career.
