Crisis and Security Management

The combination of theory, practical insights and analytical skills prepares you for work in public or private organisations.
You learn from members of the Institute of Security & Global Affairs of Leiden University plus guest lecturers from many fields and organisations.

In CSM you focus on management/governance of such highly complex security challenges as privacy, terrorism, or cyber-attacks: their social and political impacts, the diminishing role of national authorities, and new developments such as social media.
