Course Overview

Build your knowledge of risk and information security while you work with this BSc Security and Risk degree.

You'll be following a programme of study, designed in collaboration with the Defence College of Policing and Guarding at Southwick Park, that recognises what you've learnt in your military career so far, and offers complementary study modules that open your career prospects 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 aspiration.
