Hi Charlotte,
Our Phase 2 training counts as the equivalent of the first two years of University for the International Relations Degree. You therefore need to complete the final years part-time under your own steam, but can essentially start this once you have completed Intelligence Corps training.
There are a variety of funding options depending on your individual circumstances that you may be able to utilise.
Hope this helps.

Oh that's really good! So essentially it would be up to me to get into that final year and complete it once finishing training? Thank you for answering my question!

Yeah,there's currently two on offer. However, we have had individuals in the Corps who have written to Universities highlighting career and work experience - the University has elected to let them start in 2nd / 3rd year. You don't have to undertake the courses nominated by the Intelligence Corps if you don't want to.

You could build up work experience, then apply for a degree in Risk & Security management, for example.
