Corporate Security Management BA (Hons)

Course Overview

The BA (Hons) Corporate Security Management programme is designed to provide a degree qualification for those who wish to enter the security industry and develop a management career. You will be given the opportunity to develop the theoretical and applied knowledge that is essential, when combined with role experience, to become a confident and highly capable Corporate Security Manager.

Security and management have a crucial role to play in limiting the impacts of threats upon every organisation, whether profit or not for profit, public or private sector. This course aims to help you develop forward-looking management processes with realistic and flexible security planning, providing an organisation with the ability to evaluate threats and risks. You will then be able to put in place, effective countermeasures and associated processes and procedures.

Planning to anticipate, manage and mitigate the impacts of threats must also be prioritised in consultation with the business. It is natural for every organisational function to assume that it is the most important whereas there are various ‘core’ and ‘supporting’ functions which will require differing priority for treatment in accordance with their criticality to the organisation. This programme aims to help you develop security management processes in order to decide what is most important to protect but with a clear focus on the overall organisational need.
