What you will learn

What you will study

For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.

Intensive school

You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.

Career pathways

Upon graduation, you'll be skilled in the collection, collation and analysis of information across the intelligence analysis field, and so able to produce and disseminate intelligence which influences organisational decision-making at all levels. You may support criminal investigations and manage and assess large volumes of disparate data, applying contemporary analytical tools and techniques to produce actionable operational and strategic intelligence.
