Academic Institutions

Universities and further education bodies are increasingly offering students the opportunity to study courses relating to the security industry.

Whether this is in an academic sense (security studies or criminology) or through vocational learning, there is a need to ensure study is relevant, inclusive and dynamic enough to keep pace with the rate of change.

If you work in security education, you’ll recognise these challenges. Cyber security is posing a new, evolving threat; interdisciplinary study is a must to cover the full nature of modern society, with the added complication of the rise of remote learning.

How can the Security Skills Board help?

Future security professionals need a fully rounded education, with an academic understanding of core principles, backed by practical skills and experience. Together, we can build systems of learning for the next generation of security. By enhancing learning we can grow ambition, foster drive and increase the inclusivity of the sector.
