The Fundamentals of Intelligence course introduces students to the foundational concepts, roles, and practices of intelligence as both a profession and a discipline. It is designed as a soft entry point for those beginning their careers in intelligence or related fields, equipping participants with a clear understanding of what intelligence is, why it matters, and how it functions within organisations and society.
It recognises the central purpose of intelligence as a function to support decision making, reduce uncertainty, and enable foresight. By providing practical exposure to different domains, organisational context, and roles, it grounds the student in the lived reality of intelligence practices. Finally, it develops an awareness of the mindset required of intelligence professionals and establishes a shared conceptual vocabulary which will be used across future courses.
