Risk and Disaster Reduction MPhil/PhD

Students learn how to conduct original, cross-disciplinary and international scientific research with significant, positive societal impact within an intellectually and globally diverse student body. There is a focus on multi-disciplinary research methods – in the laboratory, on site, talking to people, analysing documents, conceptual analysis, and others depending on the nature of the research – and employing theoretical, statistical, modelling, social survey and desk-based techniques. Students’ skills in research, teaching, public engagement, communications, consultancy, and knowledge exchange are emphasised.
