European Peace and Security Studies (EPSS)
A Brussels Perspective
The European Peace and Security Studies (EPSS) programme provides in-depth and unique insights into the changing nature and fundamental challenges of contemporary security issues from a distinct Brussels Perspective.
By pooling the combined expertise and resources of four leading educational institutions in Brussels— as well as the Global Governance Institute (GGI)— students are taught by prominent specialists in the field of civilian and military security issues in both theory and practice.
The courses emphasize theoretical and practical analysis of the comprehensive, civil-military nature of contemporary conflict and crisis management from a NATO and EU perspective. Additionally, they focus on the history, institutional procedures, policies and interrelations of these two key organizations as well as on their interaction with a wide range of civilian and military partners.

The programme also sheds light on the complex roots and causes of contemporary conflicts in Europe’s periphery and beyond. Hence, at the end of the semester, students will have acquired an extensive knowledge of the institutional, theoretical and practical dimensions of contemporary issues and of the core actors in the field of European Peace and Security. In addition to the five core courses offered, the EPSS programme includes a high-profile guest lecture series and symposium provided by academic experts and leading practitioners from the European Union, NATO, the United Nations and related security organizations. Students are actively encouraged to establish and maintain such contacts with key practitioners from Brussels-based institutions and the wider international academic community.
