Master of Disaster Management MDisMgt

Summary

Focusing on the major issues of disaster resilience and risk reduction, the MDisMgt will equip you with applicable skills to confidently solve complex problems in high-pressure environments. We take a holistic approach to disaster management, and provide the knowledge needed to plan frameworks, create policies, and devise solutions. A compulsory component of this programme is a research project, where you will demonstrate the critical thinking and analytical skills needed to independently approach a real-world issue in a disaster setting. This programme draws on expertise from across the University. Beyond the Faculty of Engineering and Design's world-class academic roster, you'll be able to learn from experts from Science, Architecture and Planning, Development Studies and Environmental Law. Our students come from a broad range of disciplines. Though they vary in experience, they share a common goal to help communities prepare for, and recover from, natural disasters.
