Application Process

Choose your study option

When you apply for the course you will be asked to choose whether you want to take the credit-bearing or non-credit bearing option. Credit-bearing means you will receive 10 credits at level 5 (level 4 for the core Key Issues Module) and you will take an additional assessment in the form of a written assignment.

You can choose bundles of 4 or 8 modules for both options or take an individual module.

With the bundles you must complete the Key Issues in Terrorism and Political Violence core module and then you can choose any from the remaining 11 choices.

Payment by instalments

You may pay in 2 instalments for the 8 module CPD credit bearing Certificate. Instalments are not available for the other routes.

More information is available by requesting the payment information sheet at LEteam@informaconnect.com.

All fees are payable to Informa Connect Ltd as the course partner to Liverpool John Moores University.
