As the complexity and severity of national security challenges in the new era continue to escalate, universities—serving as vital platforms for talent cultivation—face new challenges and opportunities in integrating safety education with national security education for their students. As future builders and successors of the nation, college students 'ideological awareness, legal consciousness, and public safety awareness directly impact the overall stability of national security. Effectively combining safety education with national security education has become a critical focus in contemporary ideological and political education at universities. This paper analyzes the necessity and practical approaches for integrating safety education with national security education in the new era, explores major issues and challenges during the integration process, and proposes strategies to establish a systematic and secure educational model. Research indicates that effective integration can enhance students' comprehensive qualities, strengthen their national security awareness and sense of social responsibility, and provide solid ideological support for the nation's security development in the new era.
