Understanding the threat of terrorism need not be the preserve of the few

 
 
 
Distance learning course provides an essential introduction to a vast and complex subject
 
For many organisations, including the Armed Forces, government bodies and the commercial sector, terrorism is a subject so vast and complex that educational insight can rarely be offered to the majority in an effective way. That’s despite the knowledge that understanding how and why terrorists plot against countries, people, governments and corporations can make a vital difference to the efficiency of security strategies.
 
The Certificate in Terrorism Studies, offered via elearning over the internet by the University of St Andrews and Informa, fills this knowledge gap and helps participants to prepare to meet the challenges of evolving terrorist techniques.
 
It is said that the ultimate weapon in combating terrorism is an educated mind. The Certificate in Terrorism Studies will enable students to understand the ideologies, aims, beliefs and modus operandi of major terrorist groups. Analysis of key trends enables not just better understanding of what terrorists are planning but also feeds in to the development of counterterrorism strategies that can protect an organisation’s interests.
 
Course director Max Taylor believes that ‘Knowledge gained by individuals through the Certificate’s systematic education can be turned into bestpractice strategy to help protect people, infrastructure and investments.’
Full details can be obtained at http://www.terrorismstudies.com/AA1B1, including a downloadable brochure. Alternatively, Tel: 020 3377 3210 or email info@terrorismstudies.com.
 
Eligible current and former members of the UK Armed Forces can receive funding towards their course fees from the enhanced learning credits (ELC) scheme. Informa UK Ltd is an approved learning provider, number 2035.
