International Security Studies
International Security Studies
This programme responds to the pressing agendas of the current security environment and offers students a complex guide through security, conflict, and strategic studies. The programme respects the multidisciplinary dimension of contemporary security studies that face analytical challenges in traditional as well as non-traditional domains. Therefore, students will obtain theoretical and methodological training allowing them to address security issues ranging from conventional conflicts and wars to unconventional agendas associated with cyber or space realms. Graduates of the programme are prepared to pursue careers in security-related posts in government offices and public administration, intelligence agencies, international organizations, NGOs, or research institutions. They are also demanded by the private sector in the fields of security and risk analysis.
Students can choose one of four specializations during the enrolment for the study: (i) Security, Technology, and Society, (ii) Strategic and War Studies, (iii) Peace and Conflict Studies, (iv) Global and Regional Security, or select a General Security Studies track. Further information here
The programme offers two double degree options in cooperation with (1) the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz, Germany; and (2) the Department of Security Studies and Criminology at Macquarie University, Australia. Thus, the selected students can simultaneously obtain a Master's degree in another prestigious Western university, in addition to the Master's degree in International Security Studies from Charles University. Applicants for each double degree programme are selected, based on merit, after the first semester of their studies.
