Risk, Hazards and Society MSc

King's College London, University of London

This Risk, Hazards and Society MSc will teach you how to critically analyse risk and hazard problems and equip you with reflexive problem-solving strategies across a wide range of societal, public, and private sector contexts.

You’ll learn how to anticipate and respond to both old and new potential harms to human health, safety, security, and the environment and discover how the key technical, organisational, and societal dimensions of each problem fit together. And you’ll be able to apply these skills to any type of risk or hazard, be it from floods and fires to pandemics and pollution, or unsafe food and workplace accidents to artificial intelligence and financial meltdowns.

Throughout this master’s in risk, hazards and society, you’ll be taught by world-leading experts based in the Department of Geography’s Risk, Hazards & Society research group. You'll also get the opportunity to connect scholarship and practice through an optional internship module that allows you to learn from professionals in public, private and third sector organisations.
