Which program best suits your profile and objectives?

World-class graduate education and professional training in PSIA offers the most salient fields in international affairs. 

Our 8 specialised Master’s programmes and wide range of thematic and regional concentrations allow our students to personalise their academic curriculum and chart their very own career paths. 

We invite applicants to review PSIA’s current course offer in order to learn more about how each Master’s programme is organised, who teaches at PSIA and testimonies from our graduates.

For all questions regarding PSIA programmes, please do not contact the Admissions department. Rather, we encourage you to contact the relevant PSIA’s academic advisors and assistants for each master program - contact details are listed at the bottom of each Master’s Program page.

For all questions regarding PSIA’s Concentrations programs, please visit the dedicated page.

Policy on deferral

At PSIA we consider that students apply when they are ready to start their studies with us. We expect students who accept our offer of admission to PSIA to actually come.
