Duration

If you have an interest in a wide range of natural, man-made or terrorist incidents and disasters, and want to help improve the responses and recovery and/or humanitarian support following such events, then this course is for you.
This new degree course presents a global perspective on emergency and disaster management enabling you to appreciate the diverse ways in which disruptive events may happen and are subsequently managed in different countries.
Alternatively, you may also be eligible if you already work within an emergency responder organisation, a voluntary, commercial or private organisation which has a role in supporting those organisations during an emergency or which delivers its own emergency or business continuity functions. Such students should be working in, or aspiring to work within, the field of emergency planning or business continuity.
