This specialization is designed to train future leaders in the field of security, who will be prepared to effectively face the ever changing security challenges in the interconnected world of today. The Master’s degree program „International Security Studies” is implemented under the auspices of the Terrorism Research Center, Collegium Civitas.
Why Poland?
The program is profiting from its geopolitical location – Poland. Poland – now a member country of the European Union and the NATO – has undergone a tremendous economic and socio-political transformation since 1989. Poland is a country of a dramatic history – with consequences crucial for the understanding of global politics, especially in the broad context of security. Apart from regular classes the participants will be invited to meetings with security experts and practitioners as well as witnesses to history (foremostly: the II World War), they will be encouraged to visit important historic sites and museums (such as: the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising).
The program
The participants will take a close look at various aspects of security (including but not limited to: terrorism, cybersecurity, war and peace, transnational crime, hybrid threats, the media, environment, conflict resolution, intelligence) and different regions (the US, Russia, EU, Central Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, but we will also take a look e.g. at the Pacific security issues). They will have the chance to learn languages such as: Russian, Indonesian, Mandarin.
The participants will have the unique possibility to take part in an exclusive educational venture that combines theory and practical approach. During the studies participants will learn how to write an analytical report, what’s the key for a successful briefing and they will work on their own research papers (analyzing a selected security issue of their interest) under the supervision of mentors from the Terrorism Research Center. The best papers by students will be published and disseminated in Poland and abroad – which will be yet another asset of our Alumni on the job market.
