MSc Security and Risk (Learning at Work)

... United Kingdom
... University of Portsmouth

Course Overview

Earn a postgraduate qualification in security and risk while you work, and open career paths by combining your existing experience with Master’s-level study.

On this MSc Security and Risk degree, you’ll follow a programme of study designed in collaboration with the Defence College of Policing and Guarding at Southwick Park. You’ll be able to use what you've learnt in your military career so far to earn credits toward your qualification, and to support that with study modules that will help you find senior roles in the risk and security sector.

You'll enhance your understanding of the theoretical issues and emerging practice in the field, with options to shape your study to your interests. You can earn module credits for topics you already know through our Recognition of Prior Learning scheme, and use the MOD's Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) funding to pay for your studies. The way you learn is flexible, so you can study wherever is most convenient for you and schedule your studies around your existing commitments.

When you complete the course, you'll have developed the skills and knowledge to better meet your employer's objectives, and to support you in your career aspirations.
