Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of state security policy, the functioning of the security system of the Czech Republic, and the main aspects of the contemporary security environment. The course develops students' ability to understand and work with key security concepts, institutions, strategic documents, and instruments of security policy. Emphasis is also placed on understanding the relationship between the national and international dimensions of security and on the ability to assess security issues in a broader context.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student: - applies basic concepts and principles of security policy when assessing specific security issues; - analyses the security environment and identifies relevant threats, risks, vulnerabilities, and their potential impacts; - distinguishes and interprets the roles of key institutions, authorities, and instruments within the security system of the Czech Republic; - works with strategic and conceptual documents and relates their content to specific security issues; - assesses possible security policy measures with regard to their purpose, limitations, and broader implications; - connects the national and international dimensions of security and evaluates the position of the Czech Republic within NATO, the EU, and other security structures; - formulates and justifies conclusions when addressing selected security issues.

Oral exam, Written exam, Student performance, Seminar Work
To successfully complete the course, students must meet all specified requirements: - at least 80% attendance at seminars, - active completion and approval of the seminar assignment, - completion of a credit exam consisting of 30 questions. Based on the credit exam result: - 28-30 points = grade A, - 26-27 points = grade B, - 24-25 points = grade C, - 0-23 points = the student proceeds to an oral examination. During the oral examination, the student draws one question from the previously published thematic areas and is assessed using the standard A-F grading scale. A written test result below the 80% threshold does not limit the maximum grade that may be awarded in the oral examination.
