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 issuesWe have a suite of Security and Intelligence BA (Hons) and BSc (Hons) degrees. If you choose to study one of our BA (Hons) degrees, you’ll continue to delve into areas of intellectual understanding of a theoretical approach to security and intelligence but begin to focus more on analysis, the creation and representation of arguments, the communication of findings, and research design. You will cover a range of subject areas, including International Relations, History, Security Studies and Policing, Criminology, Sociology and Forensics. If you would prefer to take a more practical approach to security and intelligence, then please have a look at our BSc (Hons) Security and Intelligence degrees.As well as the three-year course, we also have a placement year route.
