The mission of the department is to offer education and training for current and prospective members of the security and defence sectors (the Hungarian Defence Forces, the Police, institutions of national security and members of the public administration) in Hungary in the field of international security and national defence policy. Based on a comprehensive approach to the international security studies discipline, members of the faculty address the military, political, societal, economic and environmental challenges to security in education. Thus our students acquire a thorough understanding of global and regional security issues, the functioning of international security institutions (primarily the United Nations, the European Union, NATO and OSCE), and systematically structured knowledge on military security, conflict analysis and crisis management.

Members of the department participate in education in all degree and certificate programs of the faculty with relevant courses, specifically focusing on the International Security and Defence Policy programs (both BA/BSc and MA/MSc levels) and more broadly in the International Public Management (BA/BSc), the International Public Service Relations (MA/MSc) and the English-language International Public Service Relations (MA) programmes, as well as in the one-semester long English-language international certificate programme, Academy of Diplomacy Budapest. Based on high-profile research activities our staff is also involved in education at the Doctoral School of Military Sciences of NUPS, in close cooperation with the Centre for Strategic and Defence Studies within the Faculty of International and European Studies.
