Masterstudiengang Katastrophenvorsorge und Katastrophenmanagement / Master of Disaster Management and Risk Governance
Das Curriculum ist aus den Sozial-, Natur-, Ingenieur- und Gesundheitswissenschaften sowie operativen Bereichen zusammengestellt. KaVoMa-Absolventinnen und -Absolventen erlernen und festigen Grundlagen aus den Natur- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften, die ihnen nicht nur helfen, die für den Menschen und seine Lebensgrundlage potenziell negativen Auswirkungen von Prozessen der Geo- und Atmosphäre, sondern auch die menschliche Reaktion darauf zu verstehen. Außerdem werden die einzelnen Schritte der Risikoregulierung vermittelt: von Methoden der Gefahren-, Vulnerabilitäts- und schließlich der Risikoanalyse und deren kritische Hinterfragung bis hin zur Bewertung von Risiken und den möglichen Methoden der nachhaltigen Vorsorge und der Vorbereitung auf den Ernstfall. Dabei wird der Risikokommunikation als Methode der Vorsorge und als wesentlicher Bestandteil der Risikoregulierung insgesamt eine grundlegende Bedeutung zugemessen.
Im Rahmen eines Praxismoduls können außerhochschulische Erfahrungen, z. B. Praktika, mit Leistungspunkten belegt werden. Diese Form der Anerkennung ist nun auch für qualifizierte ehrenamtliche Tätigkeiten und berufliche Tätigkeiten (nach Maßgabe des Prüfungsausschusses) möglich. Wichtig ist, dass die Erfahrungen zum Themenfeld des Studiengangs passen und bestimmte Anforderungskriterien erfüllen. Die Studiendauer verkürzt sich entsprechend der Anrechnung, maximal um bis zu 9 Monate.
