International security in the 20th century

This unit provides an introduction to key events, processes, and concepts in the international history of war, peace, and security in the Twentieth Century. Students will examine the evolution of ideas and institutions that provided and in many cases still provide the political architecture for international and national security. This unit is aimed at students seeking to establish a foundation-level understanding of military affairs in the modern context, investigate the causes, conduct, and consequences of particular international conflicts, such as the world wars and the Cold War.

Digital Badging – a new way to gain qualifications!

Digital Badges are used by educational and learning organisations as competency-based signifiers of achievement. Now you can achieve a civilian university recognised academic credential, being a Digital Badge from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) through completing any Cove+ unit and passing the test of objectives.

For a 10 hour course, organisations like QUT often charge over $600 for this type of training and the issue of a Digital Badge.

If your course is an AQF 4 or 5 level course (vocational), you can do a ten question quiz to gain a badge. But be careful, this isn’t Campus course, you need to know the content to pass! If your course is an AQF 6 or 7 level course (undergraduate), then you need to submit an 800 word essay which will be assessed by a QUT lecturer.

Digital Badges are issued within 10 working days of unit completion.

You can share your Digital Badges to your LinkedIn profile, note it on personal CVs, and even include it in email signature blocks. See the examples below of a Cove+ module Digital Badge.
