Bachelor of Science (Cybercrime, Security and Intelligence)

This International Dual Degree program provides you with an opportunity to gain valuable international experience while receiving two degrees. Graduates will receive both a Bachelor of Science (Cybercrime, Security and Intelligence) from ECU and a BSc (Hons) Counter Terrorism, Intelligence and Cybercrime from the University of Portsmouth (UK).
The course prepares graduates to work across the broad security and crime prevention employment domains at the national and international levels. Students will be introduced to the concepts of security risk management, security technology in the protection of assets, counterterrorism, crime prevention and cyber crime. The degree draws on cross disciplinary knowledge and skills from both universities to develop graduates for careers across the broad employment domain of security, crime prevention, law enforcement and community safety (community security).
