Our politics and international relations courses are offered via distance learning, enabling you to tailor your study around your other commitments. The wide range of option modules provides you with the flexibility to tailor your course around your interests and also provides you with the skills and knowledge to move into a variety of careers or postgraduate research.

The MA in Intelligence and Security will be of use to you if you are seeking professional development or enhanced employability working with the intelligence in central government, the military, the police, and related services (such as the National Crime Agency, Border Force, and HM Prison Service), the private security sector (including political risk), NGOs, the UN or other international organizations.

The course will also appeal to those interested in pursuing advanced postgraduate studies in the field of intelligence with an academic background in (but not limited to) International Relations, Politics, Criminology, War Studies, Terrorism Studies, History, Human Rights, Philosophy, or Law.
