At the GSPIA, we connect with local, national, and global communities through a range of programs, including internships, co-op placements, and international exchanges. MA students in public and international affairs also benefit from being paired with a Senior Fellow – an expert in their field, with deep knowledge of international affairs and public policy – who offers students insights and guidance drawn from their distinguished career.
The Graduate School of Public and International Affairs offers a unique bilingual, inter-disciplinary environment where our students – committed to making a global impact – and our internationally recognized, leading professors and researchers – devoted to the study of all aspects of security and defence studies and the broad remit of public and international affairs – can explore from theoretical and practical perspectives, the challenges shaping the 21st century and can assess in depth how to respond through policy that has a significant impact. All coming together in the heart of our nation’s capital, Ottawa, our programs ensure that our graduates have the confidence, training, and skills to make a difference no matter the sector of international affairs they choose to invest their careers in.
