Looking for a postgraduate qualification in disaster risk studies?
The Research Alliance for Disaster and Risk Reduction (RADAR), based at Stellenbosch University, offers two cross-disciplinary one-year programmes:
Postgraduate Diploma in Disaster Risk Studies and Development Our Postgraduate Diploma focuses on understanding the interactions between social and physical risk producing processes and builds students' capacity to plan and implement comprehensive risk reduction measures. The programme also serves as a bridging qualification that equips students to progress to RADAR’s MPhil in Disaster Risk Science and Development. Applicants need an appropriate Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent or extensive professional experience to be considered. MPhil in Disaster Risk Science and Development The MPhil programme seeks to enable students to understand the interactions between social and physical risk producing processes and equip you with the skills to investigate, analyse and understand disaster risk. It has a strong research component, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary risk research approaches, methods and tools. Applicants require a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Honours degree or equivalent or extensive professional experience to be considered. Both programmes are delivered through a combination of online 'blended' learning and face-to-face teaching. Applications for the 2021 academic year close on 31 October 2020.
