Graduate Certificate in International Trade and Development at The University of Adelaide

Terrorist attacks, paralysing cyber assaults and organised gangs on global crime sprees, fill the news media. Specialists in security, intelligence studies and criminology who are skilled at researching and analysing these complex security and intelligence threats - and at finding ways to mitigate their impact - are highly sought after by both government and the private sector. Offering considerable flexibility, the Graduate Certificate of Security Studies and Criminology gives those working in policing, defence and security-related industries, law, policy advising or media, both theoretical and practical knowledge of contemporary security issues. You'll explore strategies being developed to respond to emerging threats, and you'll combine a deep theoretical understanding with practical research and analytical skills. And you'll be equipped to answer questions about the multiple dimensions of security and criminology in the world today.
