About the Program

Human society faces new and increasing threats from different dimensions ranging from terrorism to vandalism. This is mainly due to serious security lapses and increasingly sophisticated organised criminals. As a result, most security, defence and law-enforcement agencies (both home and abroad) and organisations embodying key security functions require a paradigm shift in training that impart new skills and knowledge to enable security personnel to deal with contemporary security challenges. Rapid internally and externally induced changes spurred by globalization in security sector require new approach to security management which in turn demand appropriate training on a wide range of issues; such as managing risks, securing institutional assets and buildings; information and data protection. It is in this context therefore, that the department presents the Master of Arts in Security Management. The course is intended to meet the national need of guaranteed security by training resource persons capable of taking up leadership in security management systems within government, corporate sector, and private security agencies. Security is an important component of national development and a necessity for realization of national goals. The course provides theoretical and practical strategies that addresses national security needs. The Master of Arts in Security Management holds appeal for employers across broad range of areas: industries, institutions and stands apart currently available programmes as it is more focused, theory-intensive and practical. This degree is therefore ideal for strengthening the skills of employees and creating appropriate personnel.
