I understand this is an overview but, in several sections the content was broad but so shallow it lost practical utility. I would have preferred a bit longer lessens with more depth even if that meant an overall less well rounded course.

Compared to other online courses, I don't feel like I've learned much. Moreover, the course was rather aimed towards professionals, not students - it was essentially relevant to security in the professional realm and didn't give sufficient general theory about international security. Additionally, the course failed to give an in-depth analysis of international security subfields, mostly staying in a superficial approach.

This is not a decently prepared course. Most of the videos are narrated by people with very strong accents that are difficult to understand. The content is shallow and very often outdated. Graphics that are used remind me of 90s' primary school instruction animations. I was really excited to learn something about security management and obtain this certification so that I could prove my new skills and knowledge but this was extremely disappointing.

I found this program extremely useful, especially as I begin to acquire knowledge in International security and Management. I will encourage anyone interested to get involved.

a very well designed security course

Excellent course. However, the sound was too low in some of the videos. And accurate subtitles would have been helpful. The teachers were enthusiastic and I loved the interviews with field professionals.

A good informative course giving a comprehensive overview of International Security Management. Ideal for beginners in this subject area.

Some guests where very hard to follow because of their [bad] English pronunciation.

Content is very good, very informative, for the most part. Unfortunately many of the scholars, not all, some are very clear, do not have English as their primary language of communication, so there are mistakes in use of words, which affects the clarity of the message. This is unfortunate as it really changes the meaning of the message and it's especially bad for non-English speaking students to get a poor and uncorrected translation. Thank you for the course, which content is eye-opening.

The content is good. However, there is some issue with the accent in Week 6, especially, and a few of the modules in other weeks. Due to accent problems, some of the important words have been inaudible. Please pay attention to this issue.

An interesting view of the theoretical side in matter of safety and security .

Where my free certificat 😠😠

A very informative course and as a student from Australia;; Illicit trade module is not a major issue in Oceania as it is in Europe,

My only three constructive criticisms are the following:

1) There should have been a minimum of 10 or even 20 question exam after each module.

2) Not all modules had a test attached to them, that was dissapointing I wanted to feel more challenged.

3) Organised Crime and Terrorism should NOT have been grouped together as one subject in one module. they both deserved and should have been treated as a a seperate module and an exam for each of them.

But Overall a really informative course. I really reanalysed my approach to safety in general .

Thankyou very much Erasmus University all the Lecturers and Presenters and a huge thanks to Coursera for another great course.

I have enjoyed the course and found it as I expected it. I have gained a lot of valuable insights about safity and security issues that are directly relevant and applicable to my current Job (team leader of peace and security administration). It also meets my future plan which is becoming security analysist specially of a regional security analysist in the African context specifically in the East Africa/Horn of Africa security issues such as insergency, armed conflict, Alshabaab, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Eriteria, Sudan, Middle East and Egypt etc...

This was an excellent course and necessary for me to attend at this particular time; I have found this course to be extremely helpful and I look forward to learning more about International Security Management in general.

This course was also a very emotional experience for me too and I can not thank Coursera and the course tutors enough for providing me with a remarkable learning experience.

I would like to say a huge thanks to all the phenomenal lecturers, tutors, researchers, public officials, camera crew, authors and partnering organisations.

Great course there should be a professional certification for this course, as a matter of fact, there should be a series of professional courses pertaining to this and criminal intelligence specialties!! This course shed a huge spotlight on international security and made me think about various considerations as a police officer. Seriously there should be more related professional certifications on here related to this topic, criminal analysis, and intelligence!! Coursera this was a great course!

The course is more than wonderful, and it has benefited me very much. It contains a lot of useful information. I hope the university will hold other advanced courses in the future, especially on terrorism and combating terrorism.

Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to the production of this course.

Best Regards,

P.s: It was good to mention ( indicate ) at the beginning of the course that the course is non -credit course

I thank the organizers of this course for being sensitive to the emerging concern for security across the globe. The course made me to have deep understanding of the various challenges faced in the security sector and how offenders tend to evade the system using the loopholes in the security system. The course has generally sharpened my understanding of international security including the various tricks that perpetrators use to beat the system.

My experience in relation to my expectations has been much higher. I think is a University with high standards. also the module development system. It teaches you how to use resources to support what has been studied and how to develop it. The tutors (video's) helps a lot with and advice on how to develop it. The platform has a lot of information to spend many hours online looking for information.

In life, ever things come from experience , but the most lessons come from mistake. You mistaken today, that mistake is your experience of tomorrow. safety is always priority in to mankind. You will never where there is a threat, that threat we called insecurity. I do really appreciated this course and i recommended to my all families, closed relatives, and friends for own safety. Thank you very much and God bless you.
