In this programme you will study the causes of various forms of threats to security, with patterns of responses to these threats, strategies of prevention and `best practices'.
Security is one of the most important responsibilities of a state. In recent years, however, the capacity of national governments to protect citizens and to secure critical infrastructures has come under pressure. In this one-year master's programme you will have the opportunity to develop a broad approach with an international perspective or to focus on the specific security issues in The Netherlands. The programme is taught at the Institute of Public Administration at Leiden University's Hague Campus.
