Academic programmes at IPC:
Master of International Studies - Level 9
Postgraduate Diploma - Level 8
The Master of International Studies has an applied interdisciplinary focus. Most international issues of significance go well beyond the boundaries of any one traditional discipline and the resolution of the issues inevitably requires that the knowledge, insights and methodologies of different disciplines must be brought together and synthesised. For any one issue, the disciplines contributing, and the relative importance of the insights of different disciplines, will be unique and the form of synthesis will be peculiar to that issue.
