The initial concept of this Study program is the systematic, interdisciplinary shaping and linking of knowledge necessary for criminal investigators in the broadest sense, such as judges, public prosecutors, attorneys at law, police officers, expert witness, inspection officers, intelligence community, security personnel, private security guards, detectives, and others for the effective, efficient, and high-quality performance of tasks. In addition to legal professionals and criminalists, participants from non-legal and non-criminalistic professions can also enroll. The study is open horizontally and vertically.
In the first semester, all students have two compulsory courses through which they acquire expanded and deepened, primarily theoretical knowledge about the areas that significantly determine criminal investigation and the implementation of investigative actions, as well as six elective courses. The distribution of student obligations is equal in the second semester, i.e., students have two elective and six compulsory courses that allow further specialization in certain areas of research. The third semester is dedicated to independent student work and the completion of the final thesis.
