In addition to the professions indicated above, graduates of the study program are employed in management positions in the state and public administration, mostly in specialties close to the Security Sciences field of study. The mentioned positions are generally based on regulated professions (policeman, soldier, rescuer, etc.), but within the career progression for holding a management position, university studies are often required, ideally within the field. For this reason, experts from the subject areas were also invited during the coordination and assessment of the study programs (Police Force of the Slovak Republic, Municipal Police, Prison and Judicial Guard Corps of the Slovak Republic, Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic, Private Security Services, Civil Protection Association, etc.).

The first tool for the possibility of correcting the evaluation of the so-called of the "educational output" of the subject are substitute attempts/dates of completion (e.g. repeating the test in the Moodle system or substitute exam date). The second means of correction is the possibility of choosing another examiner according to the data on teachers in the information sheet of the subject, or addressing the relevant year tutor. The third direct remedy is to convene a commission examination according to Art. 18 of the study regulations. Other student suggestions are governed by the VŠBM quality manual, which guarantees an objective evaluation of the suggestion at the level of the Quality Representative and the USM Quality Council. Such notices can be given via e-mail suggestions@vsbm.sk
Education ethics:
The rules for observing academic ethics are described in the "USM Code of Ethics" document. Monitoring compliance with academic ethics is also a part of ongoing monitoring of the study program in the form of so-called "Course Completion Questionnaire", which students fill out anonymously in the Moodle system. The evaluation of the questionnaire is governed by the guidelines "SM 09_Monitoring the satisfaction of interested parties" and "SM 02_Ensuring the quality of education".
