Diploma in Terrorism & International Security Studies - 25th September 2024

The Professional Diploma in Terrorism will be delivered from both a theoretical and also practical and operational perspectives.

While the course will have a certain amount of theory and academic knowledge and context, it will also focus on methodologies that can be applied to operating in dangerous and volatile environments. Case studies will play a significant part to explain to the student how different threats and security situations have developed on a global basis. This will include less well known incidents and operational knowledge gleaned from the course deliverer’s own perspective based on work undertaken in volatile regions.

The current iteration of terrorism and its impact in both the Middle East and Europe will be analysed and allow the student to develop the ability to make calm and reasoned assessments for themselves and not be swayed by the various propagandists and ideologues in the world today.

By the end of this course the student will have been given a solid understanding of terrorism and how it links in with the current security climate. However, they will also be introduced to some of the tool and methodologies being used by a variety of agencies to counter and contain threats. This will be shaped and adjusted so as to be applicable to those who may not intend to pursue a career in this area, but whose career takes them in harm’s way.
