UK - A university is offering a degree - in SPYING. Students are studying organised crime and terror groups for an MSc in Intelligence Data at Coventry University.
The 12-month postgraduate course - the first in the UK - has been set up because so many students want to work in intelligence. Applications to join MI5 and MI6 have risen 90 per cent in 10 years.
The university said: "We don't teach students how to hide behind newspapers with holes cut out for eyes, but how to interpret data and build criminal profiles for police and anti-terror organisations." (more)
