In recent times, security has become one of the fastest-growing fields and is in constant development. The constant complexity of the concept of security is evidenced by the issues of environmental protection on a global scale, economic (in)security, occupational safety in an era of increasing influx of foreign workers, (in)security of cyberspace, fires, attacks on mass events, etc.
The University of Security Studies specializes in the education of security experts, and this study program records an extremely high employability rate (over 90%). Security experts are in great demand on the labor market today, and undergraduate and graduate security studies prepare them in the broader field of security, but also in the specialized fields of occupational safety, fire protection, environmental protection, and protection of persons and property.
