Security management has become an increasingly important issue in organisations and many employ specialists in security. Security managers have responsibility for protecting organisations’ people, assets, information and reputation from risks such as crime, fraud, accidents, and protesters to name a few. The risks of terrorism and other crimes have made security a much more important issue and with the introduction of regulation, the needs to enhance professionalism have become more important. This course is designed for those already working in the field seeking to improve their professionalism or those with a good honours degree seeking to obtain a more relevant qualification to secure a career in security management. It provides the key knowledge and latest thinking in security to enhance your career.
The course can be studied full-time over one year or part-time by distance-learning over two or three years.
