The Master of Global Securities and Strategy examines the nature and interconnectivity of global and regional security challenges. Whilst we can conceive of the components of these challenges separately – climate, health, poverty, nuclear proliferation, disruptive technologies, to name just a few – in reality these challenges confront us simultaneously and urgently. They shape, reinforce, and catalyse each other in ways that resist simple classification or understanding. These challenges, and the forces that animate them, are at their most pronounced in Asia and the Pacific, where precarity, crisis, and innovation coexist in ways that set the global agenda.


Responding to the interconnectedness of these challenges requires the ability to think, see, and work across disciplinary boundaries, to view patterns of security and insecurity from multiple perspectives - state, human, environmental, societal, economic, and cultural - and to consider indigenous knowledges and practices about our world. Developing strategies that respond to the challenges we face requires an awareness that the experiences of security and insecurity, for states, societies or individuals, varies as we consider the effects of culture, history, gender, race and ethnicity, and wealth. 


This degree responds to the challenges we face by providing a multidisciplinary perspective on global securities and the strategies we can adopt to respond to them. By grounding these concerns in the study of Asia and the Pacific and an awareness of the varied experiences of security, the Master of Global Securities and Strategy offers a detailed appreciation of policy making, a clear commitment to empowering the next generation of decision-makers, and an understanding of global and regional diversities.
