- In class exercises and presentations
- Visits to places of interest.
Through the lectures and seminars, we always draw the learning back to your development of professional skills required for your future employment.
You will also have one-to-one tutorials and focused teaching, where you can delve deeper into the topics and enhance your learning.
You will be assessed in a way that mirrors the requirements of employment as an intelligence analyst.
There are no formal examinations on the course. Instead, assessment is conducted by assignment tasks, including class-based exercises where questions are set as ‘intelligence customer requirements’ to match the real-world working environment. Essays are designed to replicate intelligence analysis reports or ‘products’ whilst presentations are pitched as the presentation of analysis to line managers in the workplace.
You will have a lot of freedom in how you interpret assignments, so you can tailor your research to your interests.
Career portfolio development runs alongside your academic studies and is used to convert your learning experiences and assessments into examples you can showcase on your applications for future jobs.
