| Sumario: | This study investigated postgraduate student satisfaction with an online National Security Law (NSL) education program at a university in Hong Kong in 2023/24 academic year using a mixed-methods design involving quantitative evaluation surveys and focus group interviews. A total of 2,966 postgraduate students completed the course evaluation form, and 75 students participated in focus groups. Results revealed that consistent with prior research, graduate students generally reported high satisfaction with the program. Students responded positively to the flexible, self-paced format and comprehensive content of the program. Results also showed that research postgraduates reported higher satisfaction than taught postgraduates, potentially due to learning style preferences; Chinese-instructed students demonstrated more positive attitudes toward national education. Students did not perceive the NSL education as brainwashing. These findings support the effectiveness of NSL education in promoting student law abidance, leadership, and understanding of relevant laws and history.
