COURSE DESCRIPTION
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.
2023 Applicants: In 2023, this program is available for Semester 1 intake only
Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate and apply high level knowledge in disaster risk science and sustainability. Apply their knowledge to the development of innovative approaches to disaster risk science policy and governance appropriate to their global contexts. Interpret, synthesize and critically analyse published literature of relevance to the discipline. Demonstrate theoretical and/or practical skills relevant to techniques and research methodology in disaster risk science and sustainability. Critically and independently analyse data and engage in modelling of future risk scenarios which can be applied to support to decision makers working in the public and private spheres. Demonstrate a critical understanding of and capacity to participate in debates on disaster risk science which address future risk. Clearly communicate theory and results in both written and oral formats of relevance to interpreting disaster resilience, risk mitigation, and recovery arising from natural hazards around the globe.
