Strategic Studies and Security Policies is a master's degree taught in English at LINK CAMPUS University in Roma, Italy, over two years. This program sits within the broader field of security studies, focusing on strategic analysis and the policies that states and organizations use to address security challenges. Students typically study strategic theory, international security, and defense policy, alongside subjects covering geopolitics, conflict analysis, and the institutional frameworks through which security policy is developed and implemented. Coursework often addresses topics such as military strategy, intelligence analysis, and the security dimensions of international relations, including how states respond to traditional and emerging threats. The discipline combines political science and international relations with a specific focus on strategic and security questions, training students to analyze threats, policy responses, and the strategic behavior of states and other actors. Graduates commonly pursue careers in defense and security analysis, working for government ministries of defense or foreign affairs, intelligence agencies, or international organizations involved in security cooperation. Others move into roles within think tanks and research institutes focused on strategic studies, or into private sector risk analysis and security consultancy. The degree can also serve as preparation for further academic research in security studies or international relations. Based in Roma, a city closely tied to Italian government and defense institutions, and delivered entirely in English, the program is designed for students interested in the analysis of strategy, conflict, and security policy at the national and international level.
