Overview
The Graduate Diploma of Terrorism and Security Studies will develop and enhance the student’s knowledge of terrorism and security, and foster integrated understandings of the counter-terrorism responses within the complex terrorism threat nexus. Students will develop an advanced and systematic body of knowledge regarding terrorism theory, frameworks, and concepts, and will apply this knowledge to historical, contemporary, and emerging terrorism threats. Students will critically investigate patterns and relationships in terrorism in order to challenge existing knowledge. Students will select and implement appropriate research methods to produce empirically-supported and objective research assessments for communication with specialist and non-specialist audiences. Students will develop knowledge leadership by reflecting on ethical and professional practice in response to industry needs.
