We welcome applications from talented individuals of all backgrounds and each application is considered on its individual merit. Usually applicants must hold:
A UK first or second class undergraduate degree with honours, as a minimum, or equivalent international qualification.
Find information about equivalent qualifications in your country on our International entry requirements page .
If you do not meet the above entry requirements but still feel you can demonstrate the ability to complete the course successfully, you may still be accepted onto a course with a lower qualification and relevant experience. Ideally your experience will be in Information Security, Information Operations, Information Risk or a related role. Exceptional applicants may be accepted on experience alone.
The course is taught in a series of one-week residential courses at the Cranfield University at the Defence Academy, a military establishment in Shrivenham.
