Professional integration in the fields concerned requires a very high level of motivation and adaptability, particularly in terms of geographical mobility. There are few posts to be obtained through civil servants’ exams. Fluency in English is absolutely essential and proficiency in one or more other languages is a considerable advantage. Some job opportunities (students of the programme since 2004) are: Research and teaching jobs (for Ph.D. holders); jobs in analysis, advocacy and strategy and policy development in the field of peace and security [Ministry of Defence, expertise, defence industry, international organizations], or Public Goods (environment, refugees and migrants, health, etc.) [intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and companies (social responsibility)].
