Course summary

Risk and disaster reduction are high on local, national and international agendas. Governments, businesses and third sector organisations must deal with uncertainty and increase resilience. Academic study can underpin much needed professionalisation and application of evidence and research-based theory to this area. This MSc programme aims to meet the growing need for experts trained to analyse and provide solutions to complex risk and disaster resilience issues. Students will learn about and explore the characterisation, quantification, management and reduction of risk, disasters, and their associated impacts. They will take a broad range of scientific, technical, socio-economic, political, environmental, ethical and cultural perspectives. Through this multidisciplinary approach, students gain expertise in analysing complex challenges, enabling them to become future leaders who drive policy change and innovation.
