In addition to providing security practitioners worldwide with skills-based training for real-world security challenges, the Marshall Center’s resident courses are accredited by the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, offering participants the opportunity to earn European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System credits—an added benefit for those pursuing both professional development and premier security studies.

For the latest information on admissions and applications, visit the University of the Bundeswehr Munich’s Master's program in International Security Studies.

Upon successful completion, participants are awarded between 5 ECTS credits (4-week courses) and up to 18 ECTS credits (7-week courses). These credits are documented on an official Transcript of Records.

ECTS credits are aligned with Level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), corresponding to master’s-level study. They may also be applied toward further academic study, including the Master’s program in International Security Studies, subject to that program’s separate admission requirements.

In 2026, eligible Marshall Center 4-week programs include:

• Strategic Competition and Russia
• European-Led Defense 
• Hybrid Threats and Cybersecurity 

The 7-week program is Emerging Security Issues.

Please note that official transcripts follow the University of the Bundeswehr Munich’s examination regulations, and course titles may reflect legacy module designations.
