“The National Security College opened my eyes to new opportunities. If you’re interested in making policy on climate change, technology, energy, cyber security, or foreign interference, all on the backdrop of a rapidly changing international playing field, then this is the degree for you.”
Louisa Bochner,
Master of National Security Policy
“Choosing to undertake the Masters in National Security Policy was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I’ve made. Lectures from leading politicians, policymakers, business leaders, and media personalities were something I can’t imagine I would have found in other degrees.”
