Program Requirements

The minimum requirement is 24 units comprising:

Two core courses of six units each:

NSPO8001 Australia’s National Security Community	6 Units
NSPO8002 Australia’s National Security Challenges	6 Units

 

 

 

 

  At least one additional core course of six units from the following list:

 

NSPO8003 National Security Challenges: Collaborative Strategy Development and Implementation	6 Units
NSPO8004 Leadership and Risk Management in the National Security Community	6 Units

 

 

 

 

 

And up to six units of elective courses.

Elective courses may include a fourth core course from the College, or be drawn from other ANU Colleges, where relevant to national security or the candidate's professional development. Given the wide range of electives that could be considered relevant, and the significant potential for overlap between these electives, candidates for the GradCertNatSecPol will need to choose electives according to some broad rules and must be approved by the Delegated Authority before enrolment. These rules are contained in the College Working Rules. The College will publish a list of pre-approved electives for candidates to consider before enrolment commences each year. Candidates should not enrol in electives from outside the National Security College until they have formal approval from the Delegated Authority. 

Please note that all applications for this program must be made through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
