    About Graduate Certificate in Terrorism and Security Studies

    The Graduate Certificate in Terrorism, Safety and Security aims to develop and increase the knowledge of practitioners in the fields of terrorism and counterterrorism. It seeks to improve professional standards by deepening students' understanding of the history and motivators of terrorism, and thereby developing their ability to critique current (and anticipate future) terrorist threats and possible counterterrorist measures. Assessment items will encourage the application of theory to practice, with the aim of having students articulating ways in which their learning can be applied to their own professional practice.

    The Graduate Certificate of Terrorism and Security Studies will develop and enhance the student’s knowledge of terrorism and security in the broader terrorism threat nexus. Students will develop a specialised and systematic body of knowledge regarding terrorism theory, frameworks, and concepts, and will apply this knowledge to historical and contemporary terrorism threats in order to produce research-based assessments. Students will develop their ability to effectively and objectively communicate this knowledge to specialist and non-specialist audiences in order to enhance professional practice.
