This MSc, designed by a panel of academic departments, industrial partners and law enforcement and security agencies, introduces students to the fundamental knowledge, core expertise and advanced, evidence-driven methodological tools and approaches required to understand, analyse, prevent, disrupt and detect terrorism and extremist crime more broadly. Students develop an understanding of how a variety of scientific disciplines and practical approaches can contribute to tackling terrorism and extremist crime. By the end of the programme, they will be able to apply appropriate scientific principles and methods to security problems, think strategically to develop and implement countermeasures, and appreciate the complexity involved in the design, implementation and evaluation of terrorism and extremist crime threat-reduction technologies.
