That's why we've developed the IDADP, a five-and-a-half-year structured pathway that develops the skills, experience and confidence to become a fully trained analyst. To join the programme, you must either have at least one year of full time work experience where you have developed and applied the core skills needed for analysis, or a 2:1 degree (or equivalent) where your studies involved working with or interpreting data. You will also need to demonstrate analytical ability such as being able to use information in a structured way, spot patterns, make evidence-based decisions and build a clear picture from incomplete or ambiguous information.

MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people and way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses and other organisations about how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you'll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security.
