Overview

In today’s uncertain world, it can be argued that intelligence has never been more important than it is now.

Good intelligence can alleviate security concerns and can even save lives. Specialists in intelligence studies are, therefore, in demand by the Australian Government and private sector market, including in corporate intelligence.

As a student in the Intelligence program at Macquarie University, you’ll also develop a deep understanding of the evolution of Australia’s intelligence community, as well as the emerging domestic, regional and international challenges that surround intelligence.
