This intelligence analysis course offers you the opportunity to specialise in various aspects of intelligence practice, including intelligence management, national security intelligence, strategic intelligence and imagery and geo-spatial intelligence. You may also select electives relevant to your course, including fraud and leadership, management and counter-terrorism.
On successful completion of the graduate diploma, you may elect to further your expertise with the Master of Intelligence Analysis. The master's program offers three pathways: restricted electives, workplace research and pure research.
Established in 1993, the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security (AGSPS) is a leading provider of postgraduate research and education for professionals in law enforcement, emergency management and security. Faculty members are leaders in their fields and have significant experience and academic expertise, offering you a unique advantage in furthering your knowledge and expertise in this emerging field.
Upon graduation, you'll be skilled in the collection, collation and analysis of information across the intelligence analysis field, and so able to produce and disseminate intelligence which influences organisational decision-making at all levels. You may support criminal investigations and manage and assess large volumes of disparate data, applying contemporary analytical tools and techniques to produce actionable operational and strategic intelligence.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
