SAFER students reflect on their first semester in Tampere

Students and staff from the Master’s Programme in Security Management and Politics at Tampere University (SAFER) gathered to celebrate the upcoming festive season and the conclusion of the first semester of the renewed programme. Students from both the International Security and Security Governance tracks reflected on their experiences during the autumn semester and enjoyed gingerbread cookies with warm glögg – a traditional Nordic winter holiday drink.

Both tracks will be taught in English and provide broad security expertise, currently in high demand in working life. Application period started on 11 December and will end on 3 January.
