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.

Policy issues are becoming more complex, and policymaking has become a structured interaction between networked actors, with national governments and international organisations playing central roles in human development. More than ever, there is a clear need for specialists in policy analysis who can work in international and multi-level policy processes, taking on duties in the analysis of policy problems and the implementation and evaluation of solutions. In order to perform well in this domain, actors require a combination of theoretical background knowledge, technical skills and the opportunity to practise them, as well as a solid understanding of key policy fields.The Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development programme is a double-degree programme of Maastricht University’s Graduate School of Governance and University Nations University’s institute UNU-MERIT.
