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.
Neu: 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.

Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy – Mundus MAPP (MUNMAPP)
Mundus MAPP directly responds to the educational needs created by the rapidly changing global environment and new public policy challenges. The program equips graduates with the conceptual knowledge and hard skills that are necessary for understanding and decisively intervening in contemporary transnational policy problems, from climate change to international terrorism or financial regulatory failure. It provides a detailed and systematic understanding of how political institutions, processes and public policies operate and interact from the global political economy through to national and local levels with a direct focus on European engagements at these levels of governance. Inter-disciplinarity and practical application of conceptual knowledge are hallmarks of Mundus MAPP.
Program structure and mobility tracks Mundus
MAPP is unique in the flexibility with which students can tailor their learning experiences to their individual needs through the selection of mobility tracks. Mobility tracks in the joint degree each allow for a different focus – Political Economy and Development, Governance and Development, Global Public Policy and European Public Policy – while maintaining a uniform core of policy studies subjects.

Governance in Theory and Practice
Governance is a complex concept which is often used but not always correctly understood. It is an elusive notion, defined and measured in various ways. Sometimes, the idea of governance is differently placed in practice or wrongly conceptualised theoretically. This course will guide participants through key theoretical debates surrounding the concept of governance while at the same time presenting a range of empirical examples to illustrate how governance works in practice. The framework of the course will comprise and tackle the following facets of governance: governance as an analytical term, governance and public administration, governance and globalisation, governance as decision-making, (good) governance and international organisations. The target group of this course is oriented but not limited to students, policy practitioners, NGOs staff, civil and international servants.
The course is structured in 5 learning modules stretched across 10 weeks. The learning process will feature a series of online lectures, tutorial supervision, online movie screenings, and assignments. The design of the course is structured as such as to allow mobility in the work and schedule for every participant. In parallel or upon the completion of this course, participants have the option to follow a complementary online course, namely “Introduction to Political Science”.
