The International Master in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies (IMSISS)

Description

The Erasmus Mundus Scholarships 2021, funded by the European Union, are exclusively awarded to students coming from both EU and non-EU countries that have been selected to attend one of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes at Masters or Doctorate level.

The International Master in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies (IMSISS) is a 24 month Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) developed by a consortium of four European universities – University of Glasgow (UK, leader), Dublin City University (Ireland, degree awarding partner), Charles University (degree awarding partner) and OTH Regensburg (Germany). It is a unique interdisciplinary programme offering students a cutting edge training in several relevant security areas. On the part of the Charles University, the programme is administered by the Department of Security Studies of the Institute of Political Studies at our Faculty.

Students on this degree programme will examine a broad range of contemporary security challenges, such as terrorism, civil war and conflict, mass migration, energy supply security, cyber security, and new technologies, and transnational and serious organised crime. Students will also explore the intelligence and strategic approaches used by governmental and non-governmental actors to combat these threats.

The degree adopts a unique approach to the study of security by combining theoretical, applied and empirical knowledge and skill sets. Students will have the opportunity to meet with and work alongside a range of academics and researchers from international partner universities and think tanks from around the world, as well as practitioner experts from governmental and industry security defence sectors.

Why Study IMSISS
International security presents complex, challenging realities for a wide range of actors from nation-states and international organisations, to multi-national corporations. Globalisation and increased interdependency have radically changed the way we understand security in relation to the state, society, the economy and even the biosphere.

There is a growing demand for greater attention and coordinated responses from the international community, including not only individual countries but also international organisations such as the European Union (EU), the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN) and security alliances such as NATO. To support these organisations there is a need for knowledgeable, well-informed experts with the skills to not only react to crises but to identify and anticipate the threats and challenges that create crises. These experts can and should come from civilian (e.g. academia, governmental, non-governmental and private sectors) as well as military backgrounds.

Bridging these ‘expert’ security communities and ensuring opportunities for dedicated training and shared knowledge, experiences and best practice is the purpose of this IMSISS degree programme.

  • Specific requirements
  • Have Bachelor Degree
  • EMJMD student scholarships cover the entire duration of the Master course and are awarded exclusively for full-time enrolment in the course. Scholarship candidates must have already obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national rules and legislation in place. Candidates who will only obtain their first higher education degree at the end of the academic year preceding the EMJMD intake can nevertheless apply for a scholarship and can be selected by the consortium, under the condition that the student obtains the required degree prior to the beginning of the Master course.
  • Earned Master Acceptance
  • To be eligible to be considered for scholarship, students must first have secured a place on the degree programme (unconditional or conditional). The University of Glasgow postgraduate admissions office assesses all applications and will reply directly to the applicant to let them know if they have been offered a place. Applicants who receive an offer of a place on the degree programme, and who have submitted the scholarship application on time, will be put forward to the scholarship competition.
  • Other requirements
  • Specify your student category
  • If you apply for Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Scholarship, you should specify your student category (depending on your nationality and residency status during the previous 5 years):
  • Successful applicants
  • Students who are former Action 1 Erasmus Mundus Master/Doctoral Course scholarship holders are not eligible for an additional EMJMD scholarship. Successful applicants cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing the EMJMD scholarship studies.
  • Complete mobility periods
  • EMJMD scholarship holders must spend at least two complete mobility periods in at least two of the consortium’s full HEI partners which are located in different Programme Countries. Each of these mandatory mobility periods must include a volume of study/research or equivalent corresponding to at least 30 ECTS.
  • The mandatory mobility
  • The mandatory mobility periods cannot be replaced by virtual mobility neither can they take place in institutions outside the consortium. Additional study/research/thesis preparation/placement periods can take place in other participating organisations in the consortium (partner and associated partner) under the condition that the activities concerned are implemented under the direct supervision of the consortium partner.
  • Students with a double nationality
  • Students with a double nationality (of a Partner and of a Programme Country) must specify the nationality under which they submit their scholarship application.
  • Determining the contribution to participation costs
  • When determining the contribution to participation costs, the consortium defines the student category – either Programme country or Partner country. The definition of the student category depends on his/her nationality and on whether the student resided in a Programme country for more than 12 months over the last five years before applying (applicable only to students with Partner country nationality). Therefore: Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Partner countries and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a Programme country are considered as Partner country students. The five year reference period for this 12 month rule is calculated backwards from the submission deadline (ie the 5 year period from 22 January 2016 to 22 January 2021). Apply as a Partner country applicant.
  • Proof of residency
  • The contribution to travel and installation costs takes into account only the residence (as determined above, at 22 January 2021) of the scholarship holder regardless of the category under which the student has applied.
  • Eligibility check
  • All applications are subject to an eligibility check which covers all aspects of the application: respect of the application deadline, completeness of the application file, eligibility of the candidate in relation to the Erasmus Mundus criteria. Applicants who fail to provide necessary documentation by the appropriate deadline will be excluded from the application procedure and will be informed of the specific reason for ineligibility.
  • Selection criteria
  • The IMSISS consortium selection committee assesses each application according to the following criteria: Academic merit – 20% Relevance of academic qualifications to programme – 20% Supporting personal statement – 30% Quality of (academic) references – 10% Other (e.g. relevant research/professional experiences/interests) – 20%
  • A main list scholarship student withdraws
  • When a main list scholarship student withdraws, he/she is replaced by the first eligible candidate on the reserve list. In this particular case, the eligibility criterion concerns the nationality of the reserve list candidate and the rule concerning the presence of a maximum of three nationals from the same country among the scholarship holders in each intake. If there are already three other students with the same nationality on the main list, the consortium will have to take the next eligible candidate respecting its own ranking list (European Commission’s regulations).
  • Entry Requirements
  • You should have a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject, such as, but not limited to politics, international relations, history, area and cultural studies, law, sociology, criminology, human geography, language sciences, global studies, psychology, media studies and journalism, modern languages or business. Other disciplines not listed here will be considered on an individual basis. Academic backgrounds on the fields of engineering and computer science will be considered for Pathway A only. Applicants with a relevant work experience background in the fields of policing, security, intelligence and risk analysis will also be considered.
  • Academic Background
  • The programme is opened to students from various academic backgrounds and we encourage those who have been in employment for some time to consider applying.
  • English Language Proficiency
  • (if your first language is not English) NB. In cases where it is not possible to provide proof of language qualification at this stage, applications will still be accepted but any offer of a place on the programme or of a scholarship will be conditional until the test result is received & verified by Admissions.
