Course summary

The MSc Intelligence Systems is a work-based programme that has been developed to specifically provide the opportunity for Armed Forces personnel (both serving and retired) to validate aspects of their service history through a recognised higher education route. Teaching on this programme is a combination of different techniques including a “hands on” practical approach to scenarios and workshops, debates, lectures and independent research. Example modules for study include advanced intelligence systems management; complex signals analysis; electronic warfare and information operations; and managed intelligence databases. The programme is only available to those applicants who are currently serving military officers or those who have recently left the armed forces but are employed in an associated relevant profession. In some circumstances, it can be offered to civilians who have worked closely with the armed forces for a significant length of time.
