About the Course

In this MOOC you will learn about the colorful and diverse international security landscape, and gain insights into challenging topics including Open Source Intelligence, serious organised crime and illicit trade. You will also meet stakeholders from different sectors and backgrounds. We recorded our videos at different locations in Europe to also give you an insight into the original environment of our contributing experts. You will realize that the style and focus of the various presentations will differ from one week to the other. We feel that this is a big asset! And yes, we also have men in suits and uniforms......

Excellent primer course on international security management! This challenges your ideas of safety and gives you an inside look as to how security is maintained, discussed and developed.

Good basic overview of many international security concerns and mechanisms. Compared to the eight week Homeland Security Intelligence (INTL613) class of American Military University, it is roughly 1/3 the material and usefulness. Compared to the Naval Post-graduate School online course available free to US military circa 2010, it is roughly 1/2 of the material and usefulness. So, it doesn't have robust material, there were very few knowledge checks, and there was little forum discussion or engagement. Much of the material was in Spanish from police instructors from Spain. Transcripts of the material are not available for future study. A benefit of the course is that one, especially if one is not European, can get a better understanding of European security mechanisms like Interpol. What I'm seeing in Coursera courses that is funny is that Russians are taking the course, and they are literally copy/pasting chatGPT material into discussion forums. This would be an honor/integrity violation in most US colleges and they would be removed from the course.

I did enjoy this course and it amongst other things has inspired me to apply for an international security themed Master's degree in Europe. A few things I suggest- I would have liked to have had more methods of testing in order to fully feel like I had earned more confidence and knowledge, and some of your speakers were quite difficult to understand (I know that English is most of your second languages so I am not trying to be rude, just to say it was more difficult for me to engage with the content because I was struggling to understand the speakers).

All-in-all, thankyou for the content. It has led me to further pursue my knowledge in this field.

it was good. although use of common words of English may be used instead of difficult. i had to go many time for google dictionary .content was based most of the time for Europe ,lectures could be on international concerns

The content feels drawn out in some material. I feel like having things broken down in simpler explanations or perhaps separated out more would be more beneficial. Otherwise the content was informative.

some of the interviews were a little unnecessary but equally, some reinforced the practical aspects so no real complaint.

Most of the learnings were already part my knowledge, a bit disappointed by the content not being focused on Security Management but more on the knowledge of what security is or can be. Also sceptic about the organism "ISMKAé creating the course and not existing anymore.
