Academic opportunities in Europe

Expand your academic experience by taking part in Master, semester exchange, and study abroad programs in a variety of European countries.

International Master in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies

We are partners with the International Master in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies (IMSISS), a two-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree awarded by a consortium of European universities – University of Glasgow, UK; Dublin City University, Ireland; Charles University in Prague, the Czech Republic; and the University of Trento, Italy.

Our students are welcome to apply for study abroad programs with each of these universities. In addition, we regularly host European IMSISS students in practical work placements with us in Sydney. Previous research focussed work placements have included projects such as:

  • Analysing social media and right-wing extremism in Australia
  • Asia-Pacific defence in the context of rising powers
  • Arms races in the Indo-Pacific
  • The criminological investigation of corporate and financial misconduct

The Swedish Defence University

Founded as an institution for higher military education within the Swedish Armed Forces, the Swedish Defence University is today an independent higher education institution that offers education at all academic levels - bachelor, master and doctoral - for civilian students as well as military officers. The university contributes to national and international security through research and education, in particular in the spheres of defence, crisis management and security.

We have a student exchange agreement with the Swedish Defence University for our undergraduate or postgraduate students to undertake a semester-length exchange in Stockholm.
