At no other point in history has our world experienced such a significant set of security challenges. Changes to society and technology have increased our vulnerability to terrorist attacks, and have given unprecedented power to terrorists. To defend themselves, governments and businesses need analysts who have the knowledge and skills to understand the dynamic and complex systems that terrorists are leveraging. Specialists in this field are, therefore, in demand. This combined bachelor + master degree will prepare you to meet the needs of this rapidly changing sector. Youll study risk management, emergency response, national resilience, business continuity planning, law enforcement and the use of military force. Youll also learn about the emerging domestic, regional and international challenges related to terrorism and their implications for counterterrorism approaches and policies.
