MA/MS in Internal security

The Internal Security master's programme at the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences takes two years and carries 120 ECTS credits. It is taught in Estonian in Tallinn, with 30 study places, and applicants can enter either full-time or part-time study. Free study applies to full-time places, while part-time study is paid. Teaching takes place in sessions held every second week from Thursday to Saturday, which allows students to earn the degree while continuing to work. The programme suits people already working in security who want to advance their careers, as well as those with a bachelor's degree in another field who want to move into the broad area of internal security. The curriculum follows a comprehensive approach to national defence and prepares students for specialist or leadership roles in a fast-changing security environment. It helps students acquire, deepen and shape the knowledge, skills and values that such work requires. A list of proposed master's thesis topics is available, and applications are made through SAIS.
