Emergency Management has become recognised as a distinct field of study that is required for progression to senior and executive levels of management in statutory emergency services, community and health services and local government.
Students undertake a study of recent advances influencing emergency and risk management through a comprehensive literature search and analysis. Students develop their independent studies proposals under the guidance of a supervisor and their findings are presented in the form of a training or education report.
