About this course
The analysis of intelligence and the management of those who undertake that analysis are important and fundamental processes for both public and private sector organisations. Whether you’re looking to focus on developing a career in intelligence, or you already have some experience and wish to formalise this with an academic qualification, this three-year full-time course will develop your knowledge, understanding and capabilities ready for progression in a variety of sectors.
In the organisational context there are many influencers and other issues which will drive the requirement for intelligence about the issues and threats which may have adverse or positive effects and impacts. The organisation that values and manages intelligence carefully will be better prepared than that which does not look at potential issues and fails to develop information into a usable and valuable basis for action. The requirements for each organisation will be different based upon the operational, social and adversary context and will need to involve detailed analysis.
In organisations that take an intelligence-led approach - corporates, businesses, law enforcement, military and governments - it is argued that there is a higher level of awareness and by implication preparedness and resilience. Also, with the seemingly ever-increasing range of information and intelligence sources that organisations can draw upon, the importance of developed intelligence analysis capability becomes even more clear.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
Artificial intelligence is a very specialist subject taken by less than 100 people a year at the moment, so there is little reliable information available on graduate prospects - bear that in mind when you review the stats above. Graduates taking this type of subject are more likely than other computing graduates to go into further research. However, if you want to find out more specifically about the potential graduate outcomes of a specific course, it's a good idea to go on open days and talk to tutors about what previous graduates have gone on to do.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
