Woverhampton University launches MSc in emergency management
The University of Woverhampton is launching two courses covering emergency management. The first is an MSc in Emergency Planning, Resilience and Response, and the second a Postgraduate Certificate in the Management of Passenger Transport Emergency Incidents.
The new courses have been developed with input from industry experts and aim to equip emergency and passenger transport professionals with the skills to deal with major incidents, such as accidents or terrorist attacks.
The two qualifications are designed for people working in the emergency services, transport sector and local authorities, or those seeking careers in these areas, and will be delivered by the University's School of Health and Wellbeing from April 2012.
Professor Linda Lang, Dean of the School of Health and Wellbeing, said: "These two courses have been developed with significant service and industry input and are aimed at equipping emergency planning professional and managers, including the emergency services and the passenger transport industry, with enhanced skills to effectively prepare and deal with major incidents."
