Master of Science in Risk Management and Safety Engineering, at Lund University, Sweden

摘要

As the risks, generated by industry, organisations, etc. in society change requirements as to how these risks are to be managed must change correspondingly. This means that new methods and techniques for risk analysis and management have to be developed. The need for effective risk research and education are accentuated the rapid pace of organisational and technological changes leading to increasing risks and increased vulnerability in production, transport and infrastructure systems. To meet up to the present and future demands of risk management, Lund University is starting a two-year engineering programme leading to a Master of Science in Risk Management and Safety Engineering. The paper will present the main structure of the program, including goal definition and short descriptions of key courses. The program will focus on risks associated with safety, health and environment, but also give a general understanding for other major risks concerning companies, e.g. economical, political and organisational risks.
