Course Overview

Cranfield has a long history of specializing in Defence and Security subjects and boasts unique facilities for teaching and research in these areas. The staff is recognized as leading international experts, and instruction is exclusively geared toward postgraduate students.

The course is built on four core modules covering critical issues such as the strategies, tactics, ideologies & causes of terrorism, understanding the methods & theories of counterterrorism, and applying it in action and different contexts. Students then choose from over 20 elective modules – a unique mix unlike any available in the UK, which allows students to specialize in other areas ranging from firearms and explosives forensics to a host of specialist areas in terrorism and counterterrorism, including cyberterrorism, CBRN terrorism, and much more.

The course helps prepare students for both academic and non-academic careers, bringing together a unique mix of different subjects, combining modules from soft and hard sciences. The skills students gain will reflect the modules selected. Students will gain fundamental knowledge, core expertise, and advanced, evidence-based methodological tools and approach necessary to understand, analyze, prevent, and mitigate terrorism.”
