Master of Advanced Studies in International Security (MAS) 2027-2028

The 22nd Master of Advanced Studies provides you not only with space for academic reflection and knowledge, but the skills and networks that can readily be turned into action once back in national and international structures.

You will benefit from the exceptional academic resources of the University of Geneva’s Global Studies Institute (GSI) and the internationally recognised executive education expertise of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP).

This intensive 8-month full-time MAS will engage you through academic workshops, classroom analysis, peer to peer networking, and individual skills enhancement.

Learning objectives

This course offers you a unique opportunity to:

• Build your knowledge on international peace and security issues from across national, regional and global contexts.
• Enhance your ability to critically analyse the evolution of security issues, interlinkages and assess the effectiveness of current policy responses.
• Strengthen your leadership skill-set within a multi-cultural and cross-sectoral environment, integrating into a wide community of experts and policymakers in international security.

Modules

Open primarily to mid-career professionals working in national ministries, but also to peace and security practitioners working for International and Regional organisations.

Participants who complete this full-time programme successfully will be awarded a Master of Advanced Studies in International Security (60 ECTS credits) by the Global Studies Institute, University of Geneva in partnership with the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.
