Security Sector Management Short Courses

As part of our education programme we offer a range of Security Sector Management short courses. These courses address a broad range of complex issues for policymakers and practitioners working in the area of governance, development, national security, security sector-related issues, and conflict analysis.

The courses provides a unique opportunity to become more familiar with options to address the real operational challenges of the security-development debate. Held at the Cranfield University campus at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, they offer students the opportunity to spend time in a vibrant learning environment alongside students enrolled in Cranfield University's MSc in Security Sector Management. Most of the short course come with full Cranfield University accreditation equivalent to one post-graduate module.
