Bachelor of Global Security - Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies
Program Overview
Terrorism, political violence, international crime, cyber-crime and climate change all pose threats to our individual and collective security. Organisations and agencies across the world need specialised skills and knowledge to help understand and assess these risks and potential security threats.
In this course you’ll learn new ways of thinking to help address today’s biggest global security challenges. You’ll learn how to analyse and communicate complex information as you explore different security approaches, policies and priorities across the world.
This course can be combined with criminology, global politics and policy or international aid and development courses to broaden your skills, knowledge and career prospects even further.
Major: Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies
Terrorism, and efforts to counter it, has come to reshape national and global politics in the 21st Century.

You will gain specialised knowledge in various counter-terrorism strategies, policies and politics adopted by governments and security agencies in response to these threats. This major equips you with specialised analytical skills to analyse contexts in which terrorism occurs and evaluate counter terrorism policies and strategies.
