The Master of Arts in International Security Studies (MISS) is a unique postgraduate program for security professionals offered jointly by the University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBwM) and the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies. One- or two-year programs are designed to prepare international military and civilian students with professional experience for executive positions in the public- and private-sector.

MISS participants benefit from the particular strengths of the partnering institutions by combining university modules taught by UniBwM professors and international faculty with the policy-oriented programs at the Marshall Center. The program provides a comprehensive understanding of international security and connects participants to a network of more than 16,000 security professionals worldwide.

Participants earn credit through selected Marshall Center resident programs, allowing them to deepen their expertise, broaden their professional networks, and engage with security professionals from around the world. The entire program takes place at the Marshall Center in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
