About the course

Graduate Taught (level 9 nfq, credits 90)

Risk, Resilience and Sustainability are three keywords of our time. A deeper understanding of risk, the ways in which it is generated, experienced and managed is fundamental to addressing many of our pressing societal issues. Concepts such as ‘critical infrastructure’ underpin government initiatives to prepare, and manage for, global challenges such climate change, natural disasters, ecological uncertainty, and extreme social inequity. The concept of sustainability is heavily enshrined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , which have been widely taken up as a road map for future development around the world. The key objective of the course is to explore how sustainability and resilience work together in the safeguarding of ecosystem services, the economy, construction, transportation and political systems.

Student Profile

Aoife Bennett

Graduated in 2021

“Having just completed the MSc in Risk, Resilience and Sustainability, I cannot recommend the programme enough. The array of interactive, practical modules on relevant topics such as Natural Hazards, Coastal Risks, Fieldwork in the Global South, Physical Geographies of Cities, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems, helped to provide me with an invaluable educational experience.
Using the techniques acquired in these modules, as well as the support of the wonderful faculty, I investigated and evaluated both physical and social vulnerabilities to coastal erosion in Cat Hai, a small island district located in Northern Vietnam, for my final thesis. This was an extraordinary experience and has facilitated the development of numerous friendships and connections as well as a deep interest on coastal risks and their societal implications”"
