Foundation Degree in Security Systems Management

The Centre was created alongside the development of a Foundation Degree in Crowd Management. This programme was initiated to enable companies to help to create, with the University, a qualification that promoted a defined career pathway in an employment sector notorious for its poor public image and its high turnover of staff. The outcome of the FD development was to contribute to the extension of this career pathway from level one right through to level eight on the National Qualifications Framework. The increased possibilities of lifelong learning have helped companies to retain their staff base.

 Since the success of the first FD in this area two more have come on stream: the Foundation Degree in Protective Security (for those working in the area of close protection) and the Foundation Degree in Security Systems Management. These were both developed in association with a range of industry partners, in the case of the latter, Tavcom. The programme gives those with pre-existing qualifications from Edexcel or City & Guilds the opportunity for admission with advanced standing.
