Master of Intelligence with the degree of Master of Counter Terrorism

Changes to society and technology have increased our vulnerability to terrorist attacks and have given unprecedented power to terrorists. Good intelligence and intelligence analysis has never been more important than it is now. To defend themselves, governments and businesses need analysts who have the knowledge, skills and creativity to understand the dynamic and complex systems that terrorists are leveraging. Specialists in both counter terrorism and intelligence are in demand by the Australian Government and private sector, including in corporate intelligence.

Our practice-oriented double degree course will prepare you with the ability to analyse and design strategies and policies to address domestic, regional and international counter terrorism and intelligence challenges.

Key Features

• You'll have access to experts from around the world with practical experience at all levels in the security and intelligence sectors, each highly respected in their fields and sought after by media.
• You will benefit from the strong relationships that the Department of Security Studies and Criminology has with Australian Government agencies working in this field.
• Simulated learning which reproduces the multidisciplinary expert panels that are frequently employed by government and industry in response to terrorism, intelligence and security issues will enable you to develop your technical skills.
