MSc PGCert Crowded Places and Public Safety Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc/PGCert 1 year full-time 2 years part-time or 100% online study

Course Description

From international sporting events and concerts to world-class retail and transport hubs, mass gatherings can be large and complex to manage. In the current global environment, the challenges of keeping people safe are greater than ever – whether that’s planning for international mega events or dealing with the impacts of social distancing.

With the flexibility to study either 100% on-campus, 100% online or as a blend of both, these courses aim to provide you with the academic underpinning to analyse the features that make for best-practice planning, policy and process, so that you can go on to devise effective crowded places arrangements of your own.

  • The programmes cover important legal and socio-political frameworks within crowd safety and emergency management, as well as investigating emerging technological solutions, and the contemporary safety and threat environments that impact on the sector.
  • You will examine how these issues may be addressed in practice, with a view to enhancing the effectiveness of crowd safety management and organisational resilience.
  • The part-time route allows those already employed in crowd safety, health and safety, and security management to balance their studies with other commitments, and apply academic rigour to their practical experience.
