Students attending this course are exposed to knowledge and practice about why and how defence ministries both in the UK and elsewhere plan and generate military capabilities under conditions of uncertainty. From this baseline you are granted the opportunity to develop and apply your strategic and critical thinking skills in the evaluation of the structures and processes that in various ways link to one or more of the eight elements of a capability. When examined in this light the course provides a comprehensive basis on which to understand many key aspects of the military and business role of national defence organisations.
