In today’s complex conflicts, both state and non-state actors vie for legitimacy and influence, often employing irregular warfare tactics. Special operations forces play a significant role in these dynamics, yet their strategic importance is often underexplored. The Master of Special Operations and Irregular Warfare at UNSW Canberra fills this gap, offering a specialised focus on special operations alongside electives that address broader strategic and security concerns.
This program is designed for military personnel, security policy professionals and government contractors aiming to expand their understanding of special operations beyond tactical and operational applications. You’ll gain valuable insights into special operations as an instrument of military policy, positioning you to make well-informed decisions in strategic and security contexts.
