MA/MS in Crisis management

This master's programme in crisis management at Bifröst University covers prevention and preparedness, response, learning from events, and recovery after crises. It is offered as a 90 ECTS master's degree, awarded as either an MA or an MCM, and the subject can also be taken as a 60 ECTS diploma. The MA consists of 60 ECTS of courses and a 30 ECTS master's thesis. The MCM is also a 90 ECTS master's-level qualification, with 78 ECTS of courses and a 12 ECTS final project in place of a thesis. The programme responds to the growing complexity of crises such as natural disasters, economic shocks, war, terrorism and epidemics, and to public expectations that managers and policy makers anticipate and handle them better. A section of the study is organised in cooperation with emergency response agencies.
