Overview

This Leadership and Management (Policing and Security) programme from Charles Sturt University offers the opportunity to gain advanced knowledge across three pathways: national and international policing, a work-based project or a research dissertation.

A focus on international policing examines the broad body of knowledge of the history and context of international policing, including relevant developments in Australia and overseas.

Key facts

The dissertation enables you to undertake advanced research in a specialist area of practice, while the work-based project will hone your specialist skills in designing improvements to a process, policy or practice - resulting in a comprehensive report, journal article, training programme or policy recommendation.

You'll develop your executive leadership skills and capability across law enforcement, security and international policing, and build advanced skills in applying research and investigative outcomes to strategic planning and management.

This course will position you to make high-level, independent assessments and provide sophisticated, empirically based analysis of current and emergent policing and security challenges.

Career opportunities

As a highly experienced professional in the policing and security industry, you will use the in-depth skills secured in this course to enhance your senior leadership capabilities.

Your analytical skills will be critical in identifying and managing competing risks and priorities across administrative and operational environments.

You'll drive the development and delivery of strategic and operational leadership challenges and review operational command priorities.
