The equivalent of a Swedish Bachelor’s degree with a major (i.e. at least 90 ECTS credits) in a main field of study within the social sciences, economics or law (or equivalent). English course 6/English level 2 (advanced proficiency).
The programme provides you with a broad, interdisciplinary understanding of how societies can prevent, withstand and respond to crises and other severe disruptions.
You will study how changing security conditions affect societies, where the boundaries between peace, crisis and war are becoming increasingly blurred. The programme addresses governance, coordination and organisation from a multi-level perspective – from the local level to the European Union and NATO.
A key focus is also placed on dependencies and vulnerabilities in a globalised world, including issues related to critical infrastructure and supply chains.
During the programme, you develop advanced knowledge in societal resilience and preparedness studies, along with methodological skills and the ability to analyse and manage complex issues. You also strengthen your ability to communicate results, make well-informed assessments, and take responsibility for your continued learning.
The programme is taught in English.
