Study Details: 1 academic year 2 academic years
Disasters resulting from natural hazards affect millions of people across the world each year. All nations are at risk and consequently the field of natural hazard and risk science is one of the fastest-growing areas of research in the Earth and Climate Sciences. Understanding how multiple hazards may intersect in time and space, and how their impacts may cascade over potentially global footprints, are critical areas of current research. Our course offers a specialised focus on hazard forecasting and assessment, including multi-hazards, and on how policymakers and communities can use science to increase resilience.
Normally a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants whose qualifications are of lower second class honours standard may be admitted if evidence of an adequate academic background and appropriate field experience can be shown.
