Study Details: MSc 18 months Flexible Distributed Learning
The MSc Organisational Resilience is designed to provide those working in resilience roles, such as risk managers, security, crisis or business continuity managers, an opportunity for advancement to senior positions. The course is also particularly suited to those looking to advance their careers following service in the emergency services or military, given the flexible nature of the programme, combined with the course faculty experience. The University has strong links with industry and is a holder of the Silver Military Covenant Award. Our supportive tutors can provide you with the knowledge to help you to plan for, and respond to, resilience challenges.
The programme is particularly relevant to those who have long-term experience and are seeking validation and evidence of this through the achievement of a postgraduate qualification. It is for students who wish to apply academic rigour to their professional capability and development, and will allow successful graduates to be differentiated from and be more competitive than their peers, who may not have taken such an approach.
Applicants will normally hold a good honours degree (2:1 or above) or equivalent, although we have a flexible approach to our application process. Relevant career experience will be considered in place of qualifications, for example: the armed forces, police, security industry or in risk management, business continuity, crisis and/or emergency management.

This programme equips you with skills that add value to competitive organisations. On successful completion of this award, students from all backgrounds will find their employment prospects enhanced and their understanding of the multiple facets of Organisational Resilience significantly deepened.
Managers will have gained the requisite knowledge and analytical skills to enable them to perform at higher management levels in their organisations; recent graduates or people employed outside the resilience sector are more likely to be able to obtain employment in relevant industries; and current employees will be better equipped to seek promotion. All graduates will have developed transferable skills that can be used in a wide range of employment roles.
