Analysis of risk management education at universities in EU countries

In 2019 the authors of the paper realized the empiric survey based on the project “KEGA“ in Slovakia. The goal of this survey was to assess study programs focused on enterprise risk management in European countries. The main aim of the paper is to present the results of the above-mentioned research and to propose the concept of a new study program at the Faculty of Security Engineering of the University of Zilina in Žilina (FSE UNIZA). The level of diversity and significance (importance) of subjects in risk management study programs at universities in the European countries were analysed and evaluated. Based on the achieved results, the concept of key subjects in the new study program Risk Management (Prevention of enterprise crises) was proposed. The proposed concept of study subjects is completed by an extended application of software support in risk management education and respects world trends. The proposed solutions present a contribution for the FSE UNIZA to belong to the advanced European educational institutions through the quality of its educational process and address more potential students, too. The results of this paper are usable also for other universities with similar study programs in Slovakia and the European countries
