Introduction
General objectives
This programme focuses on gathering the tools and knowledge to best apprehend and analyse issues in the international security field in the 21st century : changes in the international environment (remodelling of geopolitical systems, new forms of crises and conflicts, controversial military interventions, transnational terrorism, nuclear proliferation, cyberwarfare, etc.), conflict-ridden regions and the specific internal transformations in security and defence activities (specialisation, institutional transformation, "judicialisation", new technologies, etc.)
Main orientations and specific features
The Master in International Security at Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) is an intensive two-year program. This program is divided into three academic semesters and one semester dedicated to a professional internship or an exchange study program at a partner university.
Students study Master core courses each addressing the major themes of the international security field, and the social sciences such as security, strategy, defence economics, war and crises, peace, development and diplomacy. Additionally, students must choose two concentrations from 13 thematic and 6 regional concentrations.
Career opportunities
The majority of our international security graduates work in national administrations and governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations as well as in private security and risk analysis companies. The main sectors of employment include defence, intelligence, consulting, peace-keeping, conflict resolution and reconstruction.
