An exciting MA program that offers a unique combination of academic analysis, an insight into the practitioner’s perspective and personal experience for the students, in an environment where national security is much more than an intellectual exercise. We are confident that this combination will prepare you not only for advanced academic research, but also for professional work in the strategic and policy-making establishments and for employment in the private sector where long-term strategic thinking is required and appreciated.

The international MPA program provides a specialization in Public Administration, Public Management and Policy Studies, which will prepare students to direct policymaking and manage public organizations in a changing and uncertain environment where economic, social and political dynamics constantly influence the daily operation of governments. The program establishes the theoretical foundations for policy analysis and for understanding the operative rationales of public organizations, but its focus is on professional tools to analyze and manage these areas.  The program emphasizes an integrative approach which allows students to choose appropriate means to handle situations from a rich and diverse tool box.
