The Master of Advanced International Studies (MAIS) is a two-year academic programme, organised as a joint master's degree in cooperation with the University of Vienna. The MAIS programme is aimed at university and college graduates of all disciplines and all nationalities who wish to attain profound knowledge of international relations through a multidisciplinary master’s programme.
