Students will be responsible for time and project management, presentation of their progress, communication with the project sponsors and preparation of final dissertation outputs in the form of a professional project (ie. science report, poster, conference paper, etc).
Students completing the course will be able to:1. Sythesise the various concepts from hazard and disaster management.2. Conduct a dissertation project with minimal supervision.3. Network with practitioners in the field of hazard and disaster management.4. Work with colleagues and supervisors in hazard and disaster management.5.
