Managing Organisational Risk and Resilience Bucks New University

Overview

Led by  Bucks New University experienced and supportive academic team, the Managing Organisational Risk and Resilience programme involves the study of both civil protection and business continuity, as well as the challenges and opportunities with threat and risk management.

Why study this subject?

• The fast pace of contemporary societal change has brought the critical requirements for organisations to be resilient. Organisations are vulnerable and exposed to threats and risks on a constant basis and in order to assess, mitigate and manage such events, a robust approach to organisational resilience is essential.
• There is demand from organisations for specialists that understand the organisational resilience requirements needed and also those that are able to prepare for, respond to and recover in the event of critical incidences.
• The job market for these specialist roles is very competitive and a masters in this area will really help boost your chances of employability (in some instances, it may even be a prerequisite).

• There is also great flexibility in studying this course with our students coming from not just the UK, but all around the world.
