UCL launches airport security and counter terrorism degrees

The University of Central Lancashire is launching degrees in counter-terrorism and airport security, with the latter claimed as a first in the UK.

The two courses - an undergraduate degree in airport security management and a postgraduate degree in counter-terrorism - will be delivered by the university's School of Forensic and Investigative Sciences.

"Our BSc in Airport Security Management is the first in the country, and will provide our students with theoretical and practical understanding of managing this complex security challenge," said Andy Johnson, the course leader and former police officer.

The university describes the course by saying: "Students will gain an awareness of the legislation and latest methods used to deal with the changing face of violent extremism in both UK and international settings."
