Natural Hazard Management (Combined) BSc/BA (Hons)

... United Kingdom
... University of Chester (Warrington)

Course Overview

Our Natural Hazard Management course will present you with opportunities to gain practical (field/laboratory/workplace) experience of hazard assessment in British and overseas settings, and to develop the ability to apply innovative mapping technologies (e.g. Geographical Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems, and Remote Sensing) to evaluate/manage risks posed by natural hazards. Managing natural hazards is becoming increasingly complex due to a combination of factors, including the spread of cities into hazard-prone areas and the influence of climate change (e.g. more intense/frequent and irregular hurricanes). Managing these hazards, therefore, needs a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, which is what NHM at Chester provides. This ranges from studying volcanic processes and developing policies and emergency plans, to the use of the latest technology (e.g. drones, augmented/virtual reality) to map disaster areas. The range of skills developed as part of this course has resulted in our graduates being highly sought after by employers.
