Tri-Service
University Short Course Programme Prospectus
September 2015 – June 2016
Introduction
Qualifications
The Tri-Service University Short Course Programme (USCP)
has been in existence since 1953 and is sponsored by the three
Services. The USCP was established as part of the Services further
education provision.
Qualifications are not awarded for courses but the content may
contribute towards a portfolio of evidence or Personal Development
Record. Certificates of attendance are issued for all courses. Some
courses gain an award of Credit Accumulation Transfer Scheme
(CATS) points if students are prepared to undertake an additional
assignment – this will attract an additional fee payable by the
student. Part of this fee may be reclaimed through the Standard
Learning Credit scheme (SLC). See details against each course.
Purpose
The USCP now forms part of the wider strategy of the Services to
contribute to the improvement of the general education of Service
personnel. Based upon the philosophy of Lifelong Learning, the
USCP intends to help Service personnel make a more effective
contribution to Service life by developing their knowledge and
personal skills. This is achieved through personnel having the
opportunity to address matters of current importance and research
and development within an academic environment. The USCP is not
intended for resettlement purposes or to supplement formal training.
Locations
Though pertinent for the current situation, these courses are not
intended as pre-deployment courses; they are designed to stimulate
thinking on a wider educational context.
Aim
The aim of the USCP is to meet the personal development and
broader educational needs of Service personnel of all rank/rate
levels.

Travel costs are not included. Prospective
students must check that their own Unit is able
to meet their travel costs before applying for a

distance should seek Unit authorisation prior
to the course for any overnight subsistence
allowance required either before or after the
course.
The USCP offers courses in the following categories:
•

•
The courses are residential. Students will be
required to live in accommodation provided by
the university for the duration of the course.
Tuition and accommodation costs are paid under
a central contract arrangement by the parent
Service.
The Prospectus contains information to help students select an
appropriate course to meet their own personal development needs.
There are approximately 600 USCP places available each academic
year. Prospective students should consult this prospectus before
applying for any listed course. Some courses require a high level
of participation, pre-course reading and group syndicate work. It is
therefore essential that prospective students are made aware of the
academic level and expectation of courses before application. To
gain support for their application at Unit level prospective students
are strongly advised to copy the relevant page from this prospectus
to their authorising officer (Officer Commanding/Line Manager).
If necessary, prospective students should consult either their
respective Line Manager or Education/Training Officer for further
guidance.

Internal Validation
Your comments are important as the information assists in the selection of future courses, course design and fiscal support. To contribute
to the programme course students will be asked to fill out a tri-Service validation report on the last day of the course and to hand it to the
relevant security officer for onward transit. The following are some of the comments made by students. Students may also be asked to fill out
separate validation forms by the university supplying the course being attended.

courses I have ever undertaken (in the past 29 years)
within the Service. I cannot speak more highly of what
broader understanding was achieved by this week of
study.”
“The wide range of ranks, Services and experience of the
other attendees. Lots of food for thought and reflection
after the course.”

teams will be required to make rapid decisions against a tight timescale.
The intention is that students develop an experiential understanding of
key issues through exploring theory and practice in a blended learning
environment. The day will culminate in teams presenting to the board
of the European parent organisation. The presentation will be based on
the output of the earlier simulation performance.

Courses Objectives
Credit Accumulation Transfer Points (CAT)
•
Critically evaluate classical and contemporary leadership
theories and assess their relevance for leadership within
modern organisations
•
Demonstrate a critical awareness of the principles of change
and the change process
•
Analyse & evaluate the roles of the change agent, change
management roles and techniques
•
Critically reflect on their own personal effectiveness and
development as a leader in preparation for a more senior
role within the organisation.
Students may be able to undertake additional study and assessment
to gain 15 Postgraduate credits if they reach the required standard.
Study support and online learning resources will be available to
these participants during this period.
Progression Options
Credit received for the Leadership and Change module will also
account for a quarter of the CATS points required towards the
first year of the MA Leadership and Management. The full course
normally takes three years to complete and is delivered on a part
time basis via distance learning.
General Description:
Completion of the Strategic Leadership module (30 credits) along
with the Leadership and Change (15 credits) module and the
Organisational Behaviour (15 credits) modules which are all part of
the USCP would count as one third of the full MA Leadership and
Management qualification.
This course investigates and critically evaluates historical
and contemporary approaches to leadership theory, focusing
especially on leadership at junior to middle management level.
Classical theories of leadership will be examined including traits
theory, behavioural theories and contingency theories. Some
contemporary theories will include issues such as emotional
intelligence, psychodynamics & leader-led relations. There will be
a strong emphasis on applying the theory to one’s own personal
leadership with a view to enhancing leadership performance in
preparation for middle management roles within the organisation.
Management of change will be another key emphasis. This will
include organisational politics & power, change theories and the
implementation of the change process. Issues for consideration
will include the organisational context of change, resistance to
change and practical management of the change process. One of
the main focuses for the design of this module has been the further
development of relevant employability and professional skills. Such
skills are implicit in the learning outcomes.
Intended Student Population:
This course is open to all ranks and will appeal equally to those
with previous experience and/or those who are preparing for senior
roles. The course will draw upon delegates’ previous and current
experiences.

The aim of this course is to provide middle and senior managers
with a thorough understanding of the nature of change leadership
together with the practical strategies for taking organisations

transfer this into their working environment.
General Description
The course deals with such aspects as effective change leadership,
the culture of organisations, the human aspects of change,
creativity, innovation and handling those who block change. It
provides participants with a deep insight into how to motivate and
challenge people to accept change as a natural process.
The emphasis is on the practicalities of the leadership of change,
ranging from the front line to the top level, drawing on contemporary
models and cutting-edge thinking.
Participants have the opportunity to share their own issues and
to explore appropriate tools, ideas and models to help towards
resolution. The lecturers are experienced in change management
and will facilitate the learning process by reference to relevant
theories, using ‘live’ case studies and practical strategies.
The course focuses on the human aspects of change
implementation, especially how to achieve effective communication,
alignment and momentum throughout an organisation.

Group activities - During the course a number of group and team
activities will be facilitated. These include a team presentation in relation
to the case study workshop, where students will spend the day embracing
the principles of managing innovation to then present their analysis of the
case and their recommendations to the ‘Board’ of the case organisation.
Students will be encouraged to share experiences of bringing forward
innovations and those in position of management and leadership will
also be asked to reflect on how they encourage innovation amongst their
teams and how they could do more.
Lead tutor – Dr. Lesley Hunter
Support tutor(s) – Maebh Coleman
General Description
During this course you will learn about and how to manage innovation
in a practical way. We will do this by examining, discussing and
critically evaluating, in detail, both the theory and practice of
innovation management in some of the world’s most innovative
organisations.
On the final evening course tutors will host a dinner and networking event
for course participants and invited guests where a guest speaker will
commence the evening sharing their experiences in encouraging and
managing innovation in their organisation.
The course content can be divided into two main components. Firstly,
a discussion of key concepts and why innovation management is
crucial in most organizations. Secondly, an examination of the
leading practical theory related to innovation management, in
particular, this will include an, in depth, discussion of a conceptual
model of innovation management. This model will outline the main
contextual elements (e.g. innovation strategy, organisation structure
etc.) that affect the process of innovation management and also
the process itself. This examination and discussion of innovation
management will utilize materials (e.g. examples, cases, etc.) dealing
with different kinds of innovation (e.g. product, service, internal
systems and procedures etc.) in a variety of organisations.
Mode of Delivery- The module will be delivered by interactive workshops.
The workshops will introduce the key concepts and issues of managing
innovation and encourage delegates to explore the topic in their own
context to become familiar with methods and processes used.
The teaching strategy adopted is based on interactive, integrated and
applied learning to infuse a creative mindset capable of anticipating,
leading and managing positive change in organisations. This involves
students utilising the academic models and frameworks and experiencing
decision-making through practical business / organisational scenarios.
This will be achieved through the use of case studies, best practice
examples, guest speakers and local context to enrich the students’
learning experience.
This course is about the management of innovation and you will learn
how to manage it in a practical way.
Course Objectives
Participants are encouraged to identify key skills areas and relate these
to their own personal and professional development throughout the
course, and beyond for those seeking academic credit.
On completion of this course you will be able to;
•
explain and critically reflect on innovation and why it
is crucial to competitive advantage and organisational
success;
•
conceptualise and critically explore the context and process
of innovation management;
•
analyse the innovation management in a variety of
organisations using examples from the world’s most
innovative firms;
•

The course offers a critical approach to organisational theories and
key factors impacting on organisational behaviour.
Progression Options
The nature of organisations, the role of management and its
relationships with the environment are issues which are undergoing
continual redefinition. This course uses a number of conceptual
frameworks to help participants make sense of their professional
practice and context. Using these frameworks, the learner gains a
critical awareness of the evolution of organisational theory and key
factors impacting on organisational behaviour. Practical applications
of inter-relationships between the structures and environment
of organisations such as culture, group dynamics, management
style, influence, conflict and motivation will be examined using real
life examples. The content will also cover topics of relevance to
the challenges faced by organisations and their impact on human
behaviour and organisational effectiveness.
Credit received for the Organisational Behaviour module will also
account for a quarter of the CATS points required for our MA
Leadership and Management. The full course normally takes three
years to complete and is delivered on a part time basis via distance
learning.
Completion of the Strategic Leadership module (30 credits) along
with the Leadership and Change (15 credits) module and the
Organisational Behaviour (15 credits) modules which are all part of
the USCP would count as one third of the full MA Leadership and
Management qualification.
Intended Student Population
This course is open to all ranks and will appeal equally to those with
previous experience or an interest in this field of study. The course

Stephen Reeve & Mark Hughes
Course Objectives
Is to enable participants to understand the main drivers and
impacts of macro-scale change. Appraise change and project
management practice in the light of contextual understanding. Gain
a clearer grasp of how interwoven economic, political, technological
and social trends and issues influence the immediate service
environment. Use academic change management theory to make
sense of real events in the workplace. Understand the multi-agency,
cross-boundary change agenda and investigate the nature of future
service partnership. Use ‘futures probing’ techniques to prepare for
discontinuous change.
General Description
The course will provide a sound base from which to interrogate the
concept of organisations within systems and to explore the context
in which they operate. It allows participants to formulate strategies
to investigate change issues within their own service environments.
Organisations exist in the context of a wider environment, from
where changes are triggered which may profoundly influence
organisational policy and practice. However, organisations are not
just the unwitting recipients of environmental change. They create
their own environment for internal activities, and their strategy and
structure is significant when considering their ability to respond to,
or initiate, change.
Intended Student Population
The course is open to all ranks and will appeal equally to anyone
with previous experience or new to this field of study. The
management focus of the course will draw upon past experiences of
either managing and/or being managed.

made available during the course. In addition to the 21 hours of the
workshop they will undertake a further 50 hours of study organised
though the Blackboard virtual learning environment, which will
include directed reading and engagement within discussion forums
around focused questions.
General Description:
Bibliography - Two books and a selection of articles and chapters
will be provided for all students taking the follow-up programme for
credits (within the fee).
The course relates the changing nature of conflict and war reporting
to changes in media technology as well as changes in the nature of
war. The role of the war correspondent and the use of censorship
and propaganda in times of total war will be compared with conflict
reporting in the varied situations of limited war. The importance of
the media in ‘constructing reality’, agenda setting and framing of
issues will be considered including the so called ‘CNN effect’. In
contrast, the course will consider government efforts to use the
media to get their message across in times of conflict, in relation to
the concept of ‘manufacturing consent’. The specific relationship of
the media to the military will also be highlighted including the trend
towards embedding journalists. Changes in the way modern media
operate as a consequence of merging technologies and the growth
of social media will be explored, indicating potential changes in
relationships that may follow. Varied case studies will be considered
including the reporting of Vietnam, the Falklands War, the Iraq wars,
humanitarian interventions and the Arab Spring. Consideration will
also be given to reporting ‘other people’s wars’.

Courses Objectives
•
Understand the distinctive character of current insurgencies
and counter-insurgency campaigns
•
To be aware of the academic literature on counterinsurgency
•
Recognise the institutional difficulties which counterinsurgency has posed for the armed forces
General Description
In the early part of the twenty-first century, western armed forces
are increasingly committed to stabilisation operations involving
major counter-insurgency campaigns. The current and potentially
temporary decline of interstate war has demanded a fundamental
revision of concepts, doctrine, organisational structures and
tactics among western armed forces. This module explores the
shift to counter-insurgency from a critical historical perspective. It
seeks to explore the difference between current insurgencies and
counter-insurgency campaigns and equivalent political struggles
in the twentieth century. The module examines the specific
difficulties which the armed forces face today, especially in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and the doctrinal, operational and tactical adaptations
which they have tried to make in the face of these new conflicts.
Intended Student Population
The course is designed for those involved at middle and senior
management level, who are either existing or potential leaders.
Joining Instructions and Pre-Course Work
Joining Instructions, Handouts and Training materials will be
forwarded to you by email attachments between 4 – 5 weeks before

issues, but experience has shown this course is well-received
by more senior commanders who have practical experience of

Course Director(s)
This course will be convened by a Professor of Strategic Studies
from the Strategy and Security Institute. The UK National Security
Strategy lists Cyber and Terrorism as the most pressing threats
whilst the risks of international conflict in failed or fragile states
has not receded: this course stands alone but will be particularly
effective in conjunction with “Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism”
course and “Counter-Insurgency: Conventional War of the TwentyFirst Century”.
Prof Patrick Porter
Course Objectives
Cyberspace can be understood as a medium for communication
and information exchange which, if it does not already will soon
touch the lives of every person and organisation on the planet.
However value is calculated (morally, politically, commercially,
strategically, socially and individually), and at whatever level of
interaction (personal, local, regional, national and international) it
is clear that cyberspace is a medium in which considerable value is
currently invested, and that this investment is likely only to increase
for the foreseeable future.
Certificate of Attendance
A Certificate of Attendance will be awarded upon completion of the
course.
Credit Accumulation Transfer Points (CAT)
With so much value invested, and with so much of that value
critically vulnerable to various levels of cyber risk (from the
individual hacker through organised crime and terrorism to statesponsored cyber espionage), the safety and stability of cyberspace
as a place for interaction, communication and exchange is fast
becoming one of the most challenging aspects of the 21st century
international security policy agenda. However, at both the national
and the international levels there appear to be more obstacles
than opportunities for the development of a safe and secure global
information and communications infrastructure.
Participants will gain 15 credits towards a postgraduate Certificate,
Diploma or Master if they undertake the post course assignment
and reach the required standard.
By the end of this Short Course students will have a clear
understanding of the evolving cyber security debate; of security
challenges which emanate from cyber space; of the notion of
‘resilience’ as the basis of national policy; and of national and
international attempts at the governance of cyber space.
General Description
The course will comprise a series of lectures and presentations,
together with seminar discussions in which students will be required
to take the lead.
Day 1 of the Course will examine the evolution of cyber security as
a policy problem. How is cyber space misused, by whom, for what
purposes and with what effect?
The focus of Day 2 of the Course will be on ‘resilience’ as the basis
of national responses to cyber security challenges. The Course will
examine in detail the protection of the critical national infrastructure,
using the approach taken in the United Kingdom as a case study.
Day 3 of the Course will turn to international governance of cyber

Courses Objectives:
•
Demonstrate substantive knowledge of the main theories of
foreign policy and be able to adopt critical positions adopted
towards them.
•
Show an ability to identify and discuss the key concepts
in relation to decision-making, particularly rational actor
models and socio-psychological understandings.
•
Ability to identify clearly the contention made by the different
theories of leadership, power and responsibility and engage
in reasoned criticism of such theories.
General Description
We tend to think of foreign policy as a territory inhabited by
diplomats, foreign ministers and journalists. It surrounds us but does
not affect us directly. Foreign Policy challenges this assumption:
not only do non-state actors have foreign policies; the public is
increasingly engaged in ‘international’ issues. The goals of actors
are critically scrutinized – dominant accounts impute rational
interests but recent literature challenges this view.
Part one of the module covers definitions of foreign policy and the
main theoretical understandings. The aim of part two is look more
closely at the dominant actors who ‘do’ foreign policy, as well as the
nature of the structure they inhabit. Part three looks at the role of
leaders in terms of how decision-making is understood, including
the psychological vs. rational-actor debate. Attention is also paid
to the responsibilities that leaders have for acting in ways that
strengthen international institutions and promote internationalist
values. Throughout the module, seminars will draw on case studies
from a variety of different geopolitical contexts including China,
India, the US, the UK, Canada, and the EU.

All ranks with and interest in the subject.
Course Objectives:
Joining Instructions and Pre-Course Work:
•
Critically understand the concept of human rights and the
issues of humanitarian intervention, peacekeeping, and
post-conflict reconstruction.
Joining Instructions, Handouts and Training materials will be
forwarded to you by email attachments between 4 – 5 weeks before
the course commences.
•
Critically assess the roles of international institutions
protecting human rights and undertaking intervention and
reconstruction, particularly the United Nations, NATO and
the European Union.
•
Understand in-depth the significance of the concept human
rights for members of the armed services.
Students will be provided with a lengthy course handbook which
outlines key aspects of the topics to be investigated. It is assumed
candidates for the course have an understanding of military
operations and minimal background understanding of human rights
and nation-building.
•
For accredited component of course only: Express
sophisticated and coherent expositions and arguments.
Additional Information:
Mode of Delivery - The course will be delivered in three day-long
workshop sessions. Various teaching styles will be used to ensure
that the day-long sessions are lively and students remain engaged.
Teaching and learning techniques will include: tutor input using
power point or prezi, short video presentations to illustrate essential
points, and importantly, small group discussions feeding into
whole group discussion. This works particularly well with groups
of students who have varying levels of prior knowledge and formal
qualification. In the group discussions, students will consider both
prepared questions and student-elected case studies. Regular
coffee breaks and a lunch break will be provided.
General Description:
The course will explore three related areas of international political
significance. The idea of human rights has serious implications
for international society as it conflicts with the traditional idea
of the sovereignty of the nation state. In addition, the nature of
human rights is subject to extensive political debate. Humanitarian
intervention involves the use of external force to protect vulnerable
individuals and groups and can be grounded against infringements
of human rights. The course will compare examples of humanitarian
intervention with other types of military intervention, and will give
consideration to post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding with
a focus on the issues of rights and democracy.
Certificate of Attendance:
A Certificate of Attendance will be awarded upon completion of the
course.
Credit Accumulation Transfer Points (CAT):
The human rights component examines both the philosophical
origins of the concept of human rights, and the practical political
aspects of international concern with human rights. It begins with
an investigation of the philosophical underpinnings of the concept
of human rights, including the idea of universality, the distinction
between civil/political rights and social/economic rights, and cultural
relativity. The course then explores international law relating to
human rights such as the UN Universal Declaration on Human
Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights, and
practical debates around human rights in the new world order.
The issue of humanitarian intervention is introduced as one of the
mechanisms for the protection of human rights. It is explored initially
in relation to the role of the United Nations and the constraints of
its charter. The course then considers the political dynamics of

Course Objectives
•
Demonstrate a systematic and in-depth understanding of the
impact of culture on individuals, groups and organisations
•
Critically evaluate the influence of societal conditioning on
individual behavior and communication style
•
Design strategies sensitive and responsive to the dynamics
of inter-cultural influence
General Description
Contact between people of different cultures is increasingly common
and of prime economic and sociocultural importance in our global
world. Whilst being able to speak a language will help significantly,
understanding the social behaviour and values of different countries
and groups of people can mean that communication will be much
more effective.
This course enables participants to understand how cultural
differences impact on human interaction in both the workplace and
social contexts. Using case studies and practical exercises, as
well as the examination of film and cultural assets, it explores the
development of relations, communicative styles and values between
individuals and groups of different cultural backgrounds.

Courses Objectives
The aim of this module is to provide students with an understanding
of both institutional and substantive aspects of international
criminal law. It offers an overview of the institutional framework
for the investigation and prosecution of international crimes and a
detailed examination of the substantive law relating to the crimes of
genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression, as
well as aspects of individual criminal responsibility and defences to
international crimes.
Certificate of Attendance
A Certificate of Attendance will be awarded upon completion of the

Credit Accumulation Transfer Points (CAT)
Participants will gain 15 credits towards a postgraduate Certificate,

General Description
International criminal law is a relatively new but rapidly developing
field of international law. Having emerged as a distinct discipline in
the aftermath of the Second World War, it has now become firmly
established as a means of responding to the commission of mass
atrocities. Serious violations of human rights, grave breaches
of international humanitarian law and acts of aggression now
frequently spark calls for international criminal justice.
The aim of this module is to provide students with a critical
understanding of the institutional mechanisms that exist for the
investigation and prosecution of international crimes, as well as an
introduction to the substantive law that they apply. The first part of
the course will focus institutional aspects of international criminal
law. It will look at the nature and function of international institutions
that have been created to investigate and prosecute international
crimes, including the International Military Tribunals for Nuremberg
and the Far East, established in the aftermath of the Second World
War, the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals for the Former
Yugoslavia and Rwanda, created under the Security Council’s
Chapter VII powers in the mid-1990s, and the formation of the first
permanent International Criminal Court. It will also consider the role
that international, internationalised and domestic courts have come
to play in the investigation and prosecution of international crimes
and how they operate alongside other accountability mechanisms.
The second part of the module will turn to substantive aspects of
international criminal law. It will examine the evolution and current
scope of four core international crimes: genocide, crimes against
humanity, war crimes and aggression. In addition, it will consider
forms of participation in, and defences to, international crimes.

The aims of the course are to provide students with knowledge and
understanding of political developments in Latin America in the 20th
and 21st centuries. It seeks to enable students to develop the skills
required for political, economic and social analysis and apply them
to an investigation of specific issues, including sources of instability,
political representation, political participation, military intervention,
and varieties of populism.
Subject to satisfactory completion of the formal assessment
requirements, this course will provide 15 credits at Level 5 and,
subject to the relevant course and university regulations, can
contribute to the modular structure of undergraduate single and
combined honours awards in the Faculty of Social Sciences and

General Description
The course provides a broad investigation and analysis of political
developments in Latin America from the 1940s to the present. The
theoretical debate on populism will be discussed, including such
questions as: Is populism a type of political movement or is it an
ideology? What are its boundaries? Is the term “neo-populism”
justified to describe the political leaders that emerged in the 1990s
in Latin America? How successful have the attempts to overcome
the traditional imprecision of the concept ‘populism’ been?

General Description
This course is divided into three parts. It starts with an introduction
to current Russian Politics under President Putin, examining how
the state works and political decisions are being made in areas such
as security and foreign policy, before exploring issues such as the
role of the oligarchs, media and civil society in Russia. This part of
the course is designed to increase participants’ knowledge about

The second part of the course provides an overview of Russia`s role
in dealing with the current insecurity and instability in the Russian
and post-Soviet space, with reference to the Ukraine, Moldova,
Georgia, Kazakhstan, the North Caucasus and Chechnya. The
ongoing war in Ukraine will be a focal point of our discussions. In
the last part of this course, participants will explore Russia’s current
and future role in the European and global security order that has
been rapidly changing since the take-over of Crimea and the war
in Ukraine. Examples of the themes covered include Russia’s
geopolitical interests; Russia’s military strategies; Russia`s relations
with NATO, as well as Russia`s role in international crises, among
them the Arab Spring, Syria, and Iran. The course finishes with an
analysis of Russia’s ability to play a more constructive stabilising
role in European and global security systems.

General Description
The course starts with an introduction to the history of Central
Asia during pre-Islamic and early Islamic times, before focusing on
the 19th and 20th century when the region became the subject of
continued geostrategic interests by Britain, the US, the Soviet Union
and Russia, as well as by neighbouring countries such as China,
Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The topics covered include the
role of Islam; the rivalry between the British and Russian Empires
(the Great Game); Soviet rule; and post-1991 independence of
the Central Asian republics. Based on the historical and cultural
understanding gained, the course will mainly focus on the present
state of politics, geopolitics, security and conflict in Central Asia.
Highlighting the importance of Central Asia as a world region, the
countries examined are Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Discussions around state relations in
Central Asia, as well as the conflicting strategic interests of Britain,
the US, Russia, China and Turkey, will form the backbone of a
deeper analysis of the emerging regional security architecture
in Central Asia. This analysis will include current issues such as
the development of the Eurasian Union, the consequences of the
conflict in Ukraine for Central Asia, and British-Kazakh military
cooperation. Covering topics such as ethnic conflict; increasing
social polarization; the conflict spill-over from neighbouring
Afghanistan; rise of Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism; the
difficulties of border management and border security on the
borders to Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan; and the increased
military presence of foreign powers in the region, the course will

General Description
Criminology has sought to understand and explain many crimes
and criminal behaviours, but despite an increasingly media-fuelled
culture of fear and fear-mongering, little academic attention has
been paid to the impact of ‘terror’ as opposed to ‘fear’ of crime.
Words such as terror, terrorism, terrorist and the ‘war on terror’ are
now a part of our everyday language, but what do these terms really
mean?
The notion of mobilising a nation through terror-information will
be evaluated in relation to the recent adoption and acceptance
of regular risk assessment and analysis measures, as well as
propaganda. In addition, the ‘war on terror’ will be contrasted
with the notion that ‘war is terror’. The shift from ‘old’ terrorism
to ‘new’ terrorism will be investigated and cases of domestic and
international terror attacks will be studied in conjunction with
‘ordinary’ criminal offences associated with terrorism, such as drugtrafficking, arms-dealing and identity manipulation. Additionally,

Course Objectives
Certificate of Attendance
The causes and manifestations of international terrorism, together
with governmental and public responses to terrorism, are at the
heart of the international security policy debate. The goal of this
Course is to provide students with a close understanding of the
principal features both of the academic and policy debates on
international terrorism and of anti-/counter-terrorism responses.
The Course will cover, in outline, the history of terrorism and the
problems in definition, analysis and response. The Course will focus
on UK approaches to Counter Terrorism, making comparison with
other governments’ approaches and in the context of the work of
relevant international organisations.
A Certificate of Attendance will be awarded upon completion of the
course.
Credit Accumulation Transfer Points (CAT)
Participants will gain 15 credits towards a postgraduate Certificate,
Diploma or Master if they undertake the post course assignment
and reach the required standard.
By the end of this Short Course students will have increased their
knowledge and understanding of the complexity of international
terrorism and counter-terrorism and will have tested their ideas and
opinions in open forum and debate.
General Description
This Short Course is largely, but not exclusively focused on
terrorism as a problem of public policy in the United Kingdom. The
course will be based on a series of lectures and presentations,
together with seminar discussions in which students will be required
to take the lead.
•
Day 1 of the Course will serve as an introduction to the
subject, with a discussion of the history of international
terrorism and an account of the problems which attend the
definition, analysis and response to terrorism.
•
Day 2 of the Course will examine ‘Terrorism in Practice’ in
three areas, covering actual and potential terrorist use of
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Weapons
(CBRN), and the terrorist use of cyber space.
•
Day 3 of the Course will be concerned with CounterTerrorism, focusing largely on the UK approach. The final
day of the Course will examine three aspects of counterterrorism: ‘Problems and Principles’ in counter-terrorism;
followed by an examination of ‘Policy and Practice’ and an
assessment of ‘Technology and Counter-Terrorism’.

Course Objectives:
The aims of the course are to develop participants’ understanding of
the global politics of energy and its relevance to the contemporary
debates in political sciences and international relations; to explore
the evolution of the global politics of energy and the key historical
stages; to develop familiarity with the wide actors that have shaped
and reshaped the politics of energy such as sovereign states, violent
and non-violent movements, National Oil Companies, International
Oil/Gas Companies, and major sub-constructing companies; to
understand, on the one hand, how the international system has
shaped the politics of energy and on the other, what role the politics
of energy have played in shaping the international system in the
20th and early 21st centuries; and to gain knowledge of some
regional cases that are vital for understanding the global politics of
oil: Middle East, ex-Soviet Union, sub-Saharan Africa, and South
America.
Certificate of Attendance

Credit Accumulation Transfer Points (CAT)
Subject to satisfactory completion of the formal assessment
requirements, this course will provide 15 credits at Level 6 and,
subject to the relevant course and university regulations, can
contribute to the modular structure of undergraduate single and
combined honours awards in the Faculty of Social Sciences and
Humanities.
General Description:
The course introduces participants to the key themes in the global
politics of energy and seeks to develop participants’ familiarity with
the wide range of actors that have shaped the politics of energy on
the international, regional and local level. The course examines the
main approaches to the study of energy and demonstrates their
relevance to today’s world. The course takes a long term historical
perspective to the study of energy. It starts with the end of the coal
era, imperialism, western domination and finishes with the rise of
new actors on the world stage that are set to redefine the politics of
energy as we know it.

University Short Course Programme (USCP)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the USCP?
The USCP has been running since 1953 and is now encompassed by the Lifelong Learning initiative for
the Armed Forces. It is a tri-Service Programme which was set up to provide personal and professional
development in an academic environment. It is not designed to assist with job related training.
Who can attend these courses?
All Service personnel can apply to attend these courses.
Can MOD civilians attend these courses?
Civilians will only be allocated a place on these courses if no Service personnel are available. Therefore, as
the USCP is very popular across the 3 Services, a civilian is unlikely to be allocated a place.
How much will it cost?
All tuition, food and accommodation costs for the duration of the course are paid under a central contract
arrangement by the parent Service. Travel costs are not included and are to be paid by either their parent unit or student.
Prospective students must check that their own units are able to meet travel costs before applying for a
course. Students who need to travel over a long distance should seek unit authorisation prior to the course
for any overnight subsistence allowance required either before or after the course.
What if I need an extra night’s accommodation?
If you need extra accommodation this is at the cost of your unit. To book extra accommodation contact
the Hotel Booking Service who will do it for you. If the course is being held in a hotel try to book into the
same hotel using the Hotel Booking Service. Some of the universities provide accommodation the evening
before the start of the course, but this is not the case for all courses. If you have not received your joining
instructions for the course and you are not sure of the start time, please call your relevant contact point
details of which are on page 4 of this brochure.
How do you select the people who will be attending?
The programme has a tri-Service selection criteria, the basics are as follows:
1. Application Form. Correctly completed with all * boxes filled in.
2. Reasons for Study. Make sure your reasons for study are as strong as possible. Remember that these
courses are for personal development, not for job related training. If you are currently studying in your own
time make sure you include it in this area. If you have never attended a USCP course before then priority will
be given to your application. See the current USCP DIN.
3. Date of Discharge/Exit. If you are due out in the next 2 years your chances of selection are
lower than someone with more than 2 years to serve. However, you will be on the reserve list and if a
cancellation is received USCP Co-ordinator will telephone you to see if you are still able to take a place. If
you insert N/A or leave blank it will be assumed that you are in your last 2 years.
Is any priority given to senior ranks?
No. We do however, try to include a spread of ranks/rates in the selection, dependant on the range of ranks
that have applied and sift criteria.

How do I apply?
Check that the course is the one for you by reading the course descriptions in the USCP Prospectus
available from your Education Co-ordinator or visit www.raf.mod.uk/raflearningforces
Complete the Application Form which is available from your Education Co-ordinator on Station or from
the above website address. Once you have completed the form you should send it to your Education Coordinator on Station for them to forward it to the appropriate Service desk. (see contact details on page 3)
When will I know if I have been given a place on the course?
Selection takes place 6 weeks prior to the start of the course however this may vary to take into
consideration public holidays. Students should receive notification regardless of whether their application
has been successful or not through their Service USCP Co-ordinator (See Page 3).
Students who have been unsuccessful will be notified by email 4 – 5 weeks prior to the start of the course.
Alternatively, you can call USCP Co-ordinator after the 6 week point and you will be informed whether you
have been successful or not.
What do I do if I am unsuccessful?
If you have not been selected for a course you will be placed on the reserve list. If you are unable to take a
place at short notice you should cancel your place on the reserve list. If someone who has been selected
for a course has to cancel, your relevant contact point (see page 3) will telephone you to offer you a short
notice place.
Why was I unsuccessful?
There could be a number of reasons why you have been unsuccessful and the most common are listed
below:
1. The number of applications. There are a set number of places allocated per course, and, on average,
twice the number of applications to the number of places available are received. There will, therefore be
a number of applicants that are suitable to attend the course but unsuccessful because of course place
availablity.
2. You require the course to assist you in your primary duty. If this is the case then the training should be
supplied by your Trade/Branch Sponsor.
3. You are due to leave the Service in the next 2 years.
4. Your application was not received in time to be included in the initial selection (6 weeks prior to the
start of the course). However, you will be placed on the reserve list.
Can I apply for more than one course
Multiple applications will be accepted. Although it will not guarantee you will be selected.
CATs
The extra assignment for the credits is elective. The agreement is between you and the University which
may include an additional fee.
Priority Passage
By completing the extra assignment does not give personnel a priority passage on to another USCP course.
At what point can I cancel my application?
You can cancel your application at any point up to the course start date, unless you have been offered
a place on the course. At that point a letter/email from your chain of command (SO3 minimum rank) is
required. You must inform your USCP coordinator immediately. If personnel withdraw from the course other
than for operational or compassionate reasons and the place cannot be filled the charge will be sent to their
UIN for payment.
