Postgraduate Certificate in Security, Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies
Course Code: C1079
This course provides students with a critical understanding of the nature of security, terrorism and counterterrorism measures in Australia and worldwide. It defines security broadly to incorporate the protection of individuals and their values, norms, rules, institutions and property from military and non-military threats. It explains terrorism as a threat to security, but suggests a multiple approach to the 'war on terror', involving diplomacy, development, capacity building and military force.
