风险、危害与社会

Our Risk Analysis, Disasters and Resilience MSc programme will give you
an advanced foundation in interdisciplinary studies of environmental,
societal and technological risk and disaster in the global North and
South. The programme is unique in bringing critical social and
development perspectives on the underlying causes of disasters with
expertise on governing, managing and communicating risks, across a wide
range of societal, public and private sector contexts.

Throughout this MSc you'll become equipped with the skills to critically
analyse risk and disasters and develop reflexive problem-solving
strategies, thanks to our unique combination of scholarship from
development geography and political science to sociology and psychology.
You’ll gain an understanding of differential vulnerability and exposure
to hazard and how they shape adaptation and resilience. You’ll also
build your knowledge of the political, organisational and societal
contexts that shape the management, governance and public communication
of risk and disasters.

This programme gives you the chance to connect scholarship and practice.
As well combining theoretical and case-based modules, and an internship
programme, you’ll learn with insights from professionals in public,
private and third-sector organisations.

This programme is a fantastic launchpad for exciting careers in a
rapidly developing field. Many graduates from our previously successful
MSc programmes in Risk Analysis, and Disasters, Adaptation and
Development, have secured diverse careers as risk, disaster and
resilience management and policy specialists within a wide range of
international and national government agencies and non-governmental
organisations, consultancies and businesses.
