DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

The course organized in partnership with the Institute of Political Studies (IEP) in Aix-en-Provence, also known as "Sciences Po. Aix" allows students of the French Air and Space Force Academy to train in the analysis of politico-military crises by following the multidisciplinary courses of the master’s degree in Geostrategy, Defense and International Security. During the first two years of the French Air and Space Force Academy, the classes corresponding to the first year of the Master's degree are given in Salon-de-Provence.

During the third year, the students attend the courses of the second year of this master’s degree at the IEP academy (first semester) and then carry out an internship of a dozen weeks ona defense mission with an embassy, in an international structure or in an operational unit, and write a research paper.

The course culminates with the granting of the IEP diploma (if the written and oral exams are validated, as well as a dissertation written during the 2nd year of the French Air and Space Force Academy) and the master’s degree in Geostrategy, Defense and International Security.
