We offer a very comprehensive study
program to become a fully qualified and certified PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICER
(PIO). It is designed to
develop future security and intelligence professionals with a broad
understanding of global interrelationships in politics, economics,
social change, science and technology, military developments, systems of
thought, public health, the psychological dimensions of military and
terrorist threats, cyber-security, environmental issues, and human
cultures. Further, students will understand the implications of these
interrelationships for the security of nation-states and the future of
human society in a global context.
The program provides the student with the
interdisciplinary skills to analyze the interactions between all these
elements and to communicate their ideas effectively in both written and
oral contexts. Above all, students will be able to exhibit innovative
problem solving and critical thinking for issues such as
