Overview

Our mission is to prepare globally minded students for leadership, management, analytical, and advocacy positions within any organization that is ready to confront the threat of cyber conflict.

As a student enrolled in the Global Security, Conflict and Cybercrime MSc program from New York University, you will explore cyber conflict through different facets of the social sciences, taking a deep dive into cyber espionage, crime, and warfare.

The program prepares you to address the most pressing global security issues arising from cyber enabled malicious activities. It builds upon the success of the MS in Global Affairs program, and is designed for those individuals who wish to prepare for cyber-related careers in a job market that exhibits accelerating employer demand across the public and private sectors, and non-governmental organizations.

Internships and Job Opportunities

There is a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals, which is predicted to reach 1.8 million unfilled jobs by 2022. Our goal is to help fill those positions by building an educated cohort of technically aware strategists, leaders, policy makers, and analysts. To help you jump start your career in cyberspace, we have partnered with the EC-Council, offering students an opportunity to become certified in cyber. Through the Center for Global Affairs and the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development at NYU SPS our graduates have secured jobs at:
