Apparently they are also considering a Masters programme that follows on from this degree and is aimed at those interested in higher management of defence. It includes such topics as:
- Political engagement: how to mumble 'burble burble yes Tony burble' when what you really need to do is look the Prime Minister long and hard in the eyes, explain some basic Clausewitz and ask him if he really thinks that Saddam has a boat load of VX.
- The illusory arts part one: how to turn £4Bn of taxpayers' maritime patrol equipment into Coke cans.
- Basic planning round maths: 1 + 1 = f**k off it's all the Army's fault.
- The illusory arts part two: how to hide £38Bn of unaffordability inside the defence budget and not be held accountable.
- Propaganda: how to say publically that this campaigning season should finish off the Taliban without actually experiencing deja vu.
- Advanced planning round maths: 1 + 1 = f**k off it's all the Navy's fault but inflated in line with the approved corporate planning assumptions and inclusive of IRDEL.
- Optional modules include Morale and Reducing Senior Posts. The proposed module on Allowances has been cut and nobody has signed up for Morale.
