A Master of Science (MSc) is an academic degree where students can gain specialized knowledge and skills on mathematical or scientific subjects. The fields of study can either be course based or research based, or sometimes both. Generally, one must earn an undergraduate degree before pursuing a master’s program.

What is an MSc in International Security? Studies within this degree are broken into the categories of leadership, homeland security and crisis management. Throughout a series of classes, you can examine the threats facing governments across the globe, how they have been dealt with in the past, and how to handle them in the future. Course topics include subjects ranging from preventing terrorism to responding to natural disasters. Students will conduct research and participate in simulations that will challenge their knowledge and ability to evaluate threats.

As you study for your master’s degree, you can gain an understanding of issues that transcend borders. You can also obtain practical knowledge as you learn about different security agencies, then discuss ideas for developing policies regarding individuals’ rights and freedoms.

Many of the different programs can be taken online and vary in length. Some classes are available on a full-time or part-time basis, so you can choose whichever works best with your schedule. Check with the individual university for tuition costs and deadlines.

Security has become a challenge for all nations and goes beyond the borders of an individual country, thus creating a plethora of available positions. In a government career, you could work as an intelligence analyst who looks for possible threats or finds ways to prevent terrorism. Private corporations hire people to investigate internal fraud or misconduct. There are also careers with consulting firms that offer security services both locally and abroad.

Getting a master’s degree in international security can be an excellent way to get started in a new career in criminal justice or to increase your understanding of global threats.

Featured
International conflicts and security issues have changed fundamentally over the past decades. Understanding them and managing them requires new skills. We offer this Master’s program, taught by international researchers who have trained and worked at the best universities in Europe, to develop these skills in our graduates. Contemporary conflicts and security issues are multiple, complex, and volatile. They may last for decades. Signs of progress are often deceptive, and outsiders involved in managing the conflict can experience war, development, and peace enforcement all in one day. To understand these conflicts and other contemporary security issues, and to help organizations prepare for them, we need experts who are interdisciplinary and trained to understand the complexities of these environments. This Master of Social Sciences in International Security and Law will train you to be this kind of expert. Grounded in the world-class research done by the Center for War Studies, the program will provide you with the skills to integrate a conflict’s political, juridical, and ethical dimensions in a comprehensive assessment that identifies the drivers of conflict and security issues, and what public and private organizations can do about them. -

What does the term “Strategic Intelligence” mean? At the National Intelligence University, it means the role played by the entire Intelligence Community in supporting the processes, development and execution of the United States’ national security strategy. It encompasses regional as well as global issues; military and civilian concerns; political and technical processes; and includes the assessment of physical, cultural and economic environmental considerations. The Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence covers the entire U.S. Intelligence Community and its mission, the environment in which it must function, and the potential adversaries it may deal with now and in the future. The program also focuses on the intelligence required to support the National Security Strategy and component strategies. The National Intelligence University, through the MSSI program, brings together students from across the entire Intelligence Community, including its military elements. By studying with and about each other’s agencies, and being guided by the NIU faculty through curricula on global issues, regional studies, intelligence practices, and capabilities (including those of potential adversaries), MSSI graduates earn a broader understanding of the entire IC, its challenges, and its role in supporting national security strategy. -
