Why study this degree?

The law enforcement and security sectors are placing more value on postgraduate qualifications for people seeking middle and senior management positions. Business knowledge and understanding of concepts such as brand image, financial competence, economics and marketing are becoming increasingly important in these sectors. 

CSU's Master of Business Administration (Law Enforcement and Security) provides a high level business qualification to meet this need, while offering a program tailored specifically to those working in the law enforcement and security fields. You will complete four core subjects, four restricted elective subjects, and choose the industry specific subjects that suit your career needs, interests and aspirations.

The course is offered with the flexibility of distance education, making it ideal for busy professionals. Subjects use a range of blended learning techniques including distance education study materials provided online, video-captured lectures, online meetings, subject forums and additional study resources. Online communication tools allow for collaborative work with other students and interaction with academic staff. You could choose to study just one subject per session or, with approval, complete up to four subjects per session to fast-track degree completion.

This course was developed in consultation with senior academics and industry representatives to ensure it meets the needs of the dynamic law enforcement and security sectors. It also draws on the expertise of CSU's Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security (AGSPS), which offers a suite of postgraduate programs designed  for professionals in the policing, emergency management and security fields.
