MSc in Countering Organised Crime and Terrorism |
 ****** FOUR SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR SEPT START STUDENTS ******The MSc in Countering Organised Crime and Terrorism is aimed at those working in or wishing to pursue a career in developing and implementing strategies to address the threat of extremism and organised crime against public and corporate targets. The MSc equips students with the knowledge to analyse, prevent and disrupt organised crime and terrorism activities by utilising a set of evidence-based methodological tools and core expertise pioneered by the UCL Jill Dando Institute. The course is delivered by experienced practitioners and researchers working in counter-terrorism, intelligence, law enforcement, risk assessment and security technology. Who should apply? The MSc is open to students from all disciplines, and is particularly suited to practitioners from a wide field of law enforcement, defence, military, public policy, and industrial security backgrounds. Applicants with no degree will be considered on the basis of professional experience. Why is this MSc critical to your employer? The unique linking of organised crime and terrorism, and the study of operational strategies that can tackle both these areas, means that this MSc holds appeal for employers across a broad range of industries and stands apart from more focused, theory-intensive programmes currently available. Why is this MSc critical to your career? Our society faces new and increasing threats from terrorism, and from increasingly sophisticated organised criminals. As a result, most security, defence and law-enforcement agencies (both home and abroad) and organisations embodying key security functions (such as financial institutions) are undergoing a dramatic shift in strategic thinking. The focus has moved to increased recruitment of practitioners and analysts capable of assessing and managing risks using intelligence, and developing strategies to secure institutional assets, be they national or corporate. What are the key benefits? • UCL is recognised as the 4th best university in the world (The Times rankings, Nov 2008). • This programme focuses on practical responses to the threats from organised crime and terrorism. • London-based campus; interactive teaching. • Convenient full-time and part-time programmes • Course content matches employers requirements through the input of our advisers, who include senior and former members of the Met Police, Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), NPIA, MoD Counter Terrorism Centre, Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), British Transport Police (BTP), PSNI, SO15, NaCTSO, DSTL, TfL, VT group plc and RUSI.
