In the contemporary scenario, India's interest in the world as well as the world's interest in
India, is visibly at its highest. Therefore, it becomes imperative that Indian scholarship on
global issues respond to the opportunities this presents. To this end, the Symbiosis School of
International Studies (SSIS) endeavours to provide a platform for teaching and research in
international relations, emphasising India and its role in global affairs.
Established in 2012, SSIS aims to bring the IR discourse to the Western region of the country through a well-designed academic programme, conferences, symposia and exchanges with relevant stakeholders which include policy makers, NGOs, think tanks, the media and other academic institutions. "Nurturing leaders for change" is the vision of SSIS and is embedded in all curricular, extra-curricular as well as co-curricular activities. Set up in consonance with the broader vision of Symbiosis Society, which is "to integrate with the world", SSIS seeks to equip students with the knowledge and skills pertinent to address the 21st century global challenges.

I am a Digital Media Political Campaign Associate at the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), where I apply the expertise that I gained at SSIS to make a significant impact in the political landscape. I believe that my tenure at SSIS helped me acquire essential skills and knowledge required by the job market. The courses were engaging, and I received immense support from the faculty and the campus community, which truly sets SSIS apart from other institutions.
SSIS was a transformative experience for me. It provided me with an exceptional education, coupled with dedicated faculty, and a comprehensive curriculum that has enabled me to progress in my career. Beyond academics, forging lifelong connections with my peers and esteemed faculty has enriched my journey, shaping my professional and personal growth.
I am a Senior Manager at Max Security, working in their America’s team with a focus on Geopolitical risk. Courses like Area Studies offered at SSIS have helped me gain an expertise in my area of interest and came in use in my current job profile.
Our focus at SSIS is to provide students with an ability to assess international studies and international developments with their due diligence. It requires a lot of hardwork from the students at first, but by the end of the course they are well prepared to comprehend and analyze global affairs. I think this is something very important which other institutions are not doing.
Increasingly the world is becoming complicated and fragmented and a proper understanding of the trends and future developments will be necessary in any profession or field you choose to take. The course M.A International Studies is structured to give you a basic understanding of International Relations and how International Governance and Diplomacy are practiced and delves into the multidisciplinary approach of comprehending geopolitical happenings.
