Student Comments

"Excellent course and thoroughly recommended. It allowed me an opportunity to consider a wealth of information to provide greater thought and clarity around terrorism, the impact, and investigative opportunities. All those involved in the delivery had extensive experience, information and knowledge gained through years of practical and academic studies, delivered in a way that made sense. I would fully recommend attending this course. The greatest opportunities to gain further insight was through the discussion and dialogue to extract even more information from the presenters."

Tony Blockley, Derby University, International Policing and Justice Institute, UK, March 2015.

"I especially liked the broad, overall handling of Terrorism; lectures included both Financial and Cyber Security matters. Personally I always like to hear real case studies from real practices. There were some during the course and very interesting ones. Overall assessment is, it was a good course."

Tanel Tiks, Police and Border Guard College, Estonia, March 2015.

"The course was for me a chance to break with the theoretical frameworks and be initiated to the logics of the field. I took away from this course, not only pure knowledge, but also awareness of the need to change my way of thinking. Cyber Security and Financial Intelligence, for their parts, were an amazing discovery, especially since it was made quite accessible by the speakers. Therefore I found the whole course very much challenging and interesting and it helped me to broaden my professional horizons."

Fanny Trenteseaux, Chaire InBev-Baillet Latour, Belgium, March 2015.
