Further information

The content of this study unit partially overlaps with the Business Continuity study unit, which is taken into account as follows:

A student in the field of security, safety and risk management completes this study unit as a 5-credit unit if they have already completed the Business Continuity study unit.

If the Business Continuity study unit is a compulsory part of the student’s personal study plan (PSP) and has not yet been completed, the student completes this study unit as a 10-credit unit. In this case, the study unit will be included in the core competence studies and replaces the Business Continuity study unit. The total scope of core competence studies will then exceed 5 credits, which means the student will complete 5 credits less in complementary competence studies.

The student may not complete the Business Continuity study unit after completing this study unit.

This study unit is also suitable as a complementary competence study unit for students in other fields.
