The program prepares students for roles requiring a strategic mindset and analytical skills in security and defense contexts.

In recent years, the Security and Defence fields have attracted a lot of attention due to a globally volatile environment. Regional wars among neighbouring countries tend to affect not only the region in conflict but also inflict global recession in the economy, uncontrolled rise in fuel prices and food insecurity. At the same time, security incidents such as terrorist attacks or regional social upheavals tend to lead to massive migration of citizens from one country to the neighbouring countries or even to another continent thus challenging the sense of security of the local population.

The Joint Master of Science Programme in Security and Defence aims at preparing armed and security forces officers, and government executives involved in security and defence policy but also citizens aspiring to work in fields related to security and defence in a global, constantly evolving environment, full of geopolitical challenges. Upon completion of this programme, the participants will have deepened their knowledge of current technological and asymmetric security and defence threats and developed the ability to manage challenges and crises in the contemporary international context.
