灾害风险科学与可持续发展研究生证书

该研究生证书满足了在受自然灾害定期影响的区域国家中更有效，更实际地实施灾害风险政策措施的全球需求。该课程的学生将学习如何应对和整合备灾知识
This Graduate Certificate addresses the global need for more effective practical implementation of disaster risk policy measures in regional countries impacted regularly by natural disasters. Students in this program will develop knowledge of how to approach and integrate disaster preparedness, mitigation and recovery programs to reduce societal and human losses, and enhance community resilience. Through interaction with predictive science for geo and hydrological hazards, students will be able to contribute effectively to country and governance specific disaster policy development which address priority hazards. This requires an understanding of the complex integrated policies and practices in this field, and the correlated impacts of climate change, development and socio-political frameworks on disaster governance.<br><br>Employment Opportunities<br>A Graduate Certificate in Disaster Risk Science and Sustainability can improve your prospects for employment in government, the insurance industry and international aid organisations. All of these employers have a need for people with knowledge and skills in disaster risk, and this need is likely to increase as climate change leads to more frequent and intense natural hazard events.<br><br>Learning Outcomes<br>Demonstrate and apply high level knowledge in disaster risk science and sustainability.<br>Apply their knowledge to the development of innovative approaches to disaster risk science policy and governance appropriate to their global contexts.<br>Interpret, synthesize and critically analyse published literature of relevance to the discipline.<br>Demonstrate theoretical and/or practical skills relevant to techniques and research methodology in disaster risk science and sustainability.
