Overview

International terrorism is constantly evolving. Both structurally and phenomenologically. The same applies to violent extremism, radicalization and current prevention approaches. Furthermore, the field of intelligence research in the context of counter-extremism and counter-terrorism is still largely unexplored in German-speaking countries.

Key features

The aim is to produce academically adept experts and to ensure individual professional development. Counter-Terrorism graduates from Danube University Krems expand (inter)national networks of experts and use their specialist knowledge to contribute to an even more efficient and effective prevention of extremism, counter-terrorism and its implementation in terms of state security and intelligence services.
