The master’s degree in Disaster Management can be taken either as a one-year full-time programme or as a flexible study. The flexible way of doing it makes it possible for you to spread out the courses over a maximum of 3 years. However due to the dynamics of the group work the individual courses cannot be taken part-time. Your studies can therefore only be split up in chunks consisting of single courses of 2-8 weeks duration each.

- A Bachelors degree in a relevant field (e.g. engineering, medicine, social sciences, science, journalism, etc.) or equivalent qualification from a recognized higher education institution
