This course is designed to provide students undertaking the a Graduate Diploma in the International Security Law stream with the opportunity to undertake a supervised research project in an area of international security law not previously studied in their program.

At the end of the course, students will:

• have specialised knowledge and skills, especially with respect to research in the area of international security law;
• have an advanced and integrated understanding of a complex body of knowledge in the area of international security law;
• be able to analyse critically, reflect upon and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories as they apply in the area of international security law;
• be able to apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy, expert judgement, adaptability and responsibility as a learner.
