Security I - PICT850
In this foundational unit the concept of security is introduced, examined and analysed from a variety of thematic perspectives drawn from the humanities and social sciences. The current state of academic and critical security studies is presented, and how this relates to the practice-based domains of policing, intelligence, counter terrorism, cyber, and international security studies, is explored. This unit represents both the foundation to and core of postgraduate study to be undertaken at PICT. It is designed to orient students and situate their program’s content within a broad and coherent academic context, providing clearly illustrated examples of the interaction between theory and practice. Additionally, students will develop skills necessary for independent research at post-graduate level.
