About
The International Anti-Corruption Academy endeavours to provide a world-class education to students from diverse backgrounds. IACA’s four master’s programmes are designed for anti-corruption and compliance specialists to enable them to study while continuing with their professional activities. Our students come from a diverse range of geographic, sectoral, and academic backgrounds.
All programmes utilize module-based coursework, and the master’s programmes require students to write and defend a final thesis or final research project. The degree programmes are taught in a hybrid or online format, with some in-person classes being completed at IACA’s campus in Laxenburg/Vienna, Austria.
IACA has welcomed students from more than 60 countries and jurisdictions for its academic degree programmes.
