Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Security, Intelligence and Cyber - Accelerated

The Bachelor of Arts in Security, Intelligence and Cyber looks at global politics and diplomacy in the 21st century which are increasingly underpinned by questions of security, both as a threat and as policy. Diplomats and decision-makers in government and business increasingly need to understand the complex dynamics of regional and global security, whether that be the complex dynamics of the Middle East; the resurgence of assertive powers in a multi-polar world; or domestic extremist movements, to name but a few.

Processes of globalization have taught that two further developments are also critical. First, in order to survive and prosper in an uncertain world, all states need good intelligence on threats and adversaries. The key managers and decision-makers of tomorrow will need to be very much at ease in the cyber realm, recognizing both its opportunities and its threats. The intersection of technology, security and politics will become the essence of modern life.

This Bachelor of Arts in Security, Intelligence and Cyber program builds upon the success of the Centre of Security and Intelligence Studies at Buckingham (BUCSIS) which has established itself as one of the world leaders in educational provision in this subject area. Both the center and the university at large offer a very diverse environment. It is an ideal situation to learn about matters of international concern and to discuss them with people from differing cultural backgrounds.
