Overview

In this Intelligence programme from the University of Portsmouth you’ll study security and intelligence in the public and private sectors, broaden your understanding of open and closed sources, and evaluate existing models and principles such as the intelligence cycle. You’ll probe the limitations of analytical services available to intelligence professionals, and explore the research seeking to overcome these limitations.

You can study either full or part-time on campus, or part-time by distance learning, so you can fit your studies around your work schedule. You'll also be able to customise your qualification by combining your study of intelligence with another of our Criminal Justice Master's courses.

When you graduate, you’ll be able to show your solid grounding in the practice and processes used by a career in intelligence, and demonstrate your mastery of critical issues including ethical practice and compliance with human rights legislation. You’ll be ready to pursue roles with organisations such as UK government agencies, the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Centres, or private sector intelligence services.
