Bacharel em Gestão de Segurança

In the bachelor program " Safety Management" (BA), the qualification for an interdisciplinary oriented, entrepreneurial thinking is placed in the center. The aim is to penetrate the current and long-term very relevant topic of "safety" from different perspectives in an application-oriented manner.

Security has become a central theme of modern societies in light of the many current risks, threats and threats such as terrorism, everyday crime or natural disasters. First of all, it is a public good that is under the responsibility of the state to protect. The manifold and complex vulnerability on the one hand and the sensitivity to the preservation of material and immaterial values and goods on the other hand make security a private commodity that is increasingly in demand.

Therefore, the need for expertise in security measures has increased, which should be met both within the companies themselves and through the engagement of security and protection specialized service providers. In the course of the privatization of state and municipal tasks, this need is also recognized and demanded by numerous public institutions.

It needs to be qualified to be responsible for building and acting on the security architecture in companies and organizations. The competences required for this can only be acquired at the management level through an appropriate university degree.

The trend towards the globalization of the German economy as well as the increasing sensitivity to risks and dangers of entrepreneurial activities and the simultaneous withdrawal of state protection measures will in future make the profession of Security Manager even more important.

Security-related tasks are performed by academically trained security managers in three main areas of activity: in the security industry, in corporate security and in the security of authorities and organization (BOS).

• in the own security area of corporations and medium-sized companies, both in the central corporate security as well as in a location security (esp. trade, industry, transport, finances, tourism and especially critical infrastructure),
• in consulting and insurance companies and in adjacent fields of activity within large companies (monitoring, personnel review, compliance, quality and transport security, etc.),
• in internationally active or export-oriented companies,
• in institutions (eg associations, non-profit companies, municipalities),
• at federal and state authorities with special security tasks (eg public order offices, port security authorities), for which no special career training (police) is required.
