The programme will provide the student with a new interdisciplinary mind set balancing the three main processes in Disaster Management: Disaster Risk Reduction, Response and Recover, the student will be able to effectively prevent and manage disaster situations.

The graduates of the Master of Disaster Management will be able to:

• Analyse, evaluate and manage the dynamic factors of disasters on an individual- and society level, locally and globally.
• Work theoretically and practically in all three main processes of Disaster Management, Disaster Risk Reduction, Response and Recovery, and understand how these are interconnected.
• Analyse and evaluate the underlying physical/environmental, social/political/cultural, economical, legal/institutional/organisational and health related/psychological aspects that influence the vulnerabilities and capacities of individuals and societies.
• Work strategically and operationally with all 3 main processes of Disaster Management, and be able to: Analyse and evaluate risks, as well as plan, implement and evaluate risk reduction and preparedness actions. Analyse and evaluate the needs of disaster struck individuals and societies, and prioritise, implement and coordinate response activities. Analyse and evaluate recovery needs, and implement, coordinate and evaluate activities for sustainable recovery.
• Collect, document, analyse and communicate information regarding for example risks, humanitarian needs, or lessons learned from earlier disasters in order to mitigate future ones.

Modules:

The Master of Disaster Management consists of three modules:

1. Core Module (20 ECTS) includes four mandatory interdisciplinary Core Courses, offered September-December:

• Core Course I - Introduction and Disaster Management Theories: Introduction, team building and personal safety, Disaster management theories and principles.
• Core Course II - Disaster Risk Reduction: Risk analysis and evaluation (including hazard analysis and vulnerability analysis), risk reduction (prevention and mitigation) and preparedness.

About the Programme

In the Molecular Biology programme, you will work with biological phenomena on a molecular level. You will study, for example, how a DNA molecule stores information about an organism. You will also learn about the composition and function of proteins, gene structures, organisms' immune systems, and so on.

You will be able to answer questions on, for example, why we age and how it happens. Or, how cancer develops and how the disease can be prevented and treated.

Molecular biology is a broad subject that spans many areas. You will, for example, study:

• Gene splicing, which is the transfer of genes from one organism to another, whereby an organism can attain new traits.
• Microbiology, which is the study of the structure and development of microorganisms. A micro-organism is a living organism that can only be seen in a microscope.
• Genetics, the study of living organisms' origins, development and inherited traits through the examination of genes.
• Biochemistry, which deals with the chemical composition of living organisms, and the chemical processes that take place inside them.

Teaching varies between problem-oriented project work in groups, laboratory exercises, lectures, fieldwork and classroom instruction. Project work makes up a large part of the study. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

Name: Parasitology

Type: MSc Programme

Duration: 2 years

European transfer credits: 120 ECTS

Language: English

About the Programme

Parasites are organisms that live on or in other organisms (animals or plants) from which they get their nutrients.

Parasites are the cause of many different types of illnesses, just like bacteria. Most countries spend a lot of money to combat the serious illnesses caused by parasites, such as malaria.

In the Parasitology programme, you will get the scientific qualifications to analyse these illnesses and be involved in the development of new methods to limit them.

You will study the various forms of parasites and their associated illnesses in subjects such as:

• Parasite Systematics, which focuses on the different groups of parasites and how they are labelled systematically
• Parasitic Zoonoses, where you learn about the different illnesses, which parasites can transfer to animals and humans
• Parasitological Methods, where you learn about the various methods to combat illnesses

Through elective courses, you can specialise within a specific branch in parasitology. It can be tropical parasites, parasites in food and parasites in livestock production.
