Om studiet

The online master in Contemporary Risk and Crisis Management (CRCM) equips you to tackle global challenges like pandemics, cyber-attacks, climate change, and terrorism. Through a multidisciplinary lens, you gain deep insight into theories, methods, and strategies for managing risk, crisis, and societal security across international, national, and local levels.

During the first year, students will have compulsory courses to learn about the core debates and perspectives in the fields of societal security, climate change and resilient societies, risk and safety management, crisis, and disaster management, in addition to research methods. This provides students, first, with an overview of the sources and nature of current threats and risks. Moreover, students are provided with theories, methods and strategies on how to manage these threats in different international contexts. This comprehensive and holistic approach provides a global perspective for students of risk and crisis management. The second year focuses on applying these perspectives to research and the Master Thesis project. The thesis projects are designed individually by the students supported by supervisors.

It provides knowledge, competence and skills relevant for as diverse sectors and tasks as security services, emergency and humanitarian assistance, high-risk industries, development agencies, emergency services, manufacturing, safety management, primary industries, preparedness planning, risk analysis, auditing, crisis management, and digital security.

Utveksling

The CRCM program admits both international and Nordic applicants, creating an international learning environment. The program will establish close collaboration with academics from international universities that have relevant research and study programs.

The CRCM is an integrated online master program. There will consequently be no student exchange related to elective courses. However, the program will encourage exchange during the writing of the master thesis on an individual basis during the 3 rd and/or 4 th . semester.
