P.G.DIP INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY STUDIES
Intelligence and security issues are at the top of the political agenda following the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001 and the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And the increased availability of intelligence material means that it is possible to place these issues within their historical context.
This course is the longest-running non-governmental postgraduate course in the UK in the area of contemporary intelligence and security issues.
This programme can also be studied by part-time Distance Learning. MA Intelligence and Security Studies (Distance Learning) is currently only open to serving professionals in the armed forces, policing organisations and other related bodies.
You will:
