Informa

Anyone done this course, or know anyone that has? I know the university of St Andrews is one of the better ones in the UK, and thought the course content looked good; as an addition to a CV and an insight into terrorism as well as being validated by one of the best Uni's.

The list of past clients/students looks quite conclusive too....

Yep, I have completed the course, it was very interesting and gives a different prespective and more in depth view as to why events occur

Me too

excellent course well respected and Ive had work from people ive met as a result of the follow on services.

Rated highly.

See also the MSc in terrorism Studies at UCL

Due to its location some very 'interesting' people do this course for their 'work'

Hope that gives some clues to how this sort of course is good as a personal development tool

My advice is to contact them directly and they will give you a full explaination of what is required, they will ask for references as not just anyone can attend the course, due to its sensitive nature, but its an online course, which I completed whilst working throughout Central America, when not workiing. If you are successful and any others who are too, please feel free to ask any questions or advice, just PM me.

Regards

I've completed this course and can also add that it is excellent. It's well paced and not too demanding for those who have busy lives, all you need is a few hours a week and a computer. Reseaching the module assignments takes a bit of time but is very interesting stuff.
I hope to sign up for the M.Litt in the near future.
Good luck with the study.

I have seen that University of East London also run a similar course although cannot provide any further information other than it is not open to all and is at masters level.
