Master of Intelligence

Macquarie University

Quality intelligence is central to navigating the uncertainty of today’s security environment. As security challenges intensify – from great power competition and transnational crime to climate change and cyber threats – governments, businesses and communities depend on skilled professionals to interpret complexity, assess risks and deliver insight that shapes strategic decisions. Growing demand across national security, policy and corporate sectors highlights the urgent need for intelligence specialists who can combine ethical judgement with analytical excellence. The Master of Intelligence will equip you with both the knowledge and applied skills required to succeed in this critical field. You’ll study the evolution of the intelligence enterprise in Australia and internationally, while engaging directly with real-world concerns through simulations, supervised projects and internships. With specialist units in open-source intelligence, leadership and cyber intelligence, and electives in security, counterterrorism and criminology, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor your degree while building the advanced capabilities employers are seeking.
