Course summary
The Risk and Disaster Reduction Postgraduate Certificate offers students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the characteristics of risk and disasters and their past, present and future impacts on society.
About this degree
Students develop the ability to assess risk and disaster potential and propose risk and disaster management and mitigation strategies. They gain the knowledge and skills required to make more effective decisions based on the creative and critical analysis of a broad spectrum of information.
What this course will give you
The UCL Department of Risk and Disaster Reduction (RDR) leads and coordinates multidisciplinary research, knowledge exchange and advanced teaching in risk and disaster reduction across UCL.
We have established links with NGOs, industry and government departments based in and around London.
As a student, you will be encouraged to join our active seminar series, high-profile public discussions, meetings and networking events.
The department offers dedicated careers support, including networking events that are often attended by insurance companies, catastrophe modelling firms, NGOs, local government, academic institutions and recruiters in the field. Students often find opportunities through contacts made during these events.
Employability
This programme provides excellent training towards careers in research, research communication, public policy, (re)insurance, catastrophe modelling, finance, risk management, international development, humanitarian assistance, engineering, and many other fields. It supports the career development of professionals already working in risk and disaster reduction, as well as those who intend to go into this field.
