Why take this course? The BSc Risk and Security Management has been developed in conjunction with the private security sector. It aims to equip security practitioners, and those working in occupations with a significant security role, with the ability to understand and apply relevant approaches, techniques and processes from both general management and their own specialist management field. It includes questions of strategic and operational management, risk management, security management, business continuity management, cyber security, investigations and counter fraud. People of all ages and backgrounds study with us, for a range of reasons, such as to gain a qualification, broaden their skills, enhance their career prospects, change career direction or challenge themselves. There are no formal entry requirements for this course, and individual applications are assessed based on the candidate’s experience and educational background. All applicants should apply as soon as possible to reserve a place and ensure adequate preparations are made for the start of your studies. Distance Learning Brochure

About this course

Will this course suit me? Students on the BSc Risk and Security Management range from 18 to 60 in age and come predominantly from the private security sector, military or police at a wide variety of career stages. In other cases our students are working in non-security fields and looking to build an entirely new career in security risk management. Most are seeking to progress within commercial or organisational security or make a transition into the private sector from the military or police, sometimes after 30 years’ service and in other cases much earlier in their careers. Our students come to us from across the UK and all corners of the globe, and are a diverse and interesting group. We are keen to broaden the range of people who study with us, and offer a system to convert your prior learning in work or volunteering into university credit. Those who have completed an appropriate foundation degree can do the final year of this course and gain a full honours degree. Students can also exit after 18 months of study and achieve a nationally recognised Certificate of Higher Education or exit after 36 months and achieve a nationally recognised Diploma of Higher Education.
