Course Description
Security and Intelligence is a key and contemporary global issue. The Security and Intelligence degrees develop confident, critical and digitally proficient and analytical thinks in the fields of intelligence, international security, diplomacy policing, criminology and forensics.
Our Security and Intelligence degrees will provide students with an intellectual understanding and pragmatic application of Security Studies, Intelligence Studies and Security Sciences in the analysis of relevant contemporary problems and international security issues.
The Foundation year route is for students who may not have the necessary academic profile for entry onto the three-year course or who have been out of formal education for a while and would like to enhance their skills and capabilities first.
After the second year of study, students choose whether to study the BSc pathway or the BA pathway. The BA pathway is theoretically and conceptionally based, whilst the BSc pathway is analytical, investigative and operational. Both pathways cover a range of subject areas, including International Relations, History, Security Studies and Policing, Criminology, Sociology, Forensics, and Law.
On successful completion of the BA pathway, we will issue the following award: BA (Hons) Security and Intelligence.
