Summary
Our Risk Analysis, Disasters and Resilience MSc programme provides an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental, societal and technological risk and disaster in global North and South contexts. This programme is unique in bringing critical social and development perspectives on the underlying causes of disasters together with expertise on governing, managing and communicating risks complemented with insight from professionals in public, private and third-sector organisations..
Understanding differential vulnerability and exposure to hazard and how they shape adaptation and resilience is complemented by technical know-how and an understanding of the political, organisational and societal contexts that shape decisions and actions.
Connections between scholarship and practice are further strengthened through a combination of theoretical and case-based modules, and an internship programme. Drawing together a unique combination of scholarship from development geography and political science to sociology and psychology (that can be supplemented with environmental monitoring and mapping modules), this programme will equip you with the skills to critically analyse risk and disasters.
The programme emphasises a wide range of public policy, organisational and societal setting, evaluating options, and development of reflexive problem-solving strategies.
