Conflict, shifting boundaries, terrorism, military action, international crime and the ever widening influence of the internet…welcome to the interesting world of GCHQ. One of the UK’s three intelligence and security agencies (working in partnership with the Security Service (MI5) and Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)), GCHQ’s expertise lies in the electronic and digital world or ‘signals intelligence’ as it’s known. At the core of this lies one of the world’s most powerful computing environments, helping us monitor and gather electronic and digital signals from around the world which – when converted into intelligence material – plays a crucial role in countering threats to British people and interests.
Based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GCHQ is one of the few places outside of academia where individuals can practise advanced techniques, particularly with regard to IT, the Internet, engineering and mathematical research, as well as other areas – such as languages and information assurance.
