Integrated Safety and Security Management

How do people act in extreme situations? How can I prevent accidents for myself and others? When do I have to intervene? What makes someone become an offender?

Embedded in the curriculum is also the possibility to acquire recognized certificates (e.g. process management, quality management, etc.) and professional qualifications (e.g. as security experts, fire protection officers, etc.). In addition to the degree program being part-time, it is also possible to gain credit for your professional activities in order to reduce your workload.

    Crisis staff exercise As part of the Crisis Management module integrated in the degree program, the department organizes crisis staff exercises in which students experience the complexity and dynamics of crisis situations first-hand.
