I truly feel that so many doors have been opened to me both

in terms of opportunities but also in terms of ambitions which
previously seemed so out of reach, but are now within reach,
thanks to the drive and the encouragement of the PSIA team.
Ive had some really fantastic teachers, and great courses that
I would never have been exposed to studying elsewhere.
Lucy, PSIA13, Master of International Security

Seen through the prism of my students these past two years,

widely diverse both geographically and socioeconomically,
PSIA is making a distinctive mark as a cutting-edge crucible of
global citizenship.
Alvaro de Soto, PSIA Distinguished Professor of Practice, renowned
international mediator, and former UN Under-Secretary-General
