Intelligence Analysis and Management with Foundation Year BSc (Hons)

Course Overview

The analysis of intelligence and the management of those who undertake that analysis are important and fundamental processes for both public and private sector organisations. Whether you’re looking to focus on developing a career in intelligence, or you already have some experience and wish to formalise this with an academic qualification, this three-year full-time course will develop your knowledge, understanding and capabilities ready for progression in a variety of sectors.

In the organisational context there are many influencers and other issues which will drive the requirement for intelligence about the issues and threats which may have adverse or positive effects and impacts. The organisation that values and manages intelligence carefully will be better prepared than that which does not look at potential issues and fails to develop information into a usable and valuable basis for action. The requirements for each organisation will be different based upon the operational, social and adversary context and will need to involve detailed analysis.
