Courses in Risk and environmental studies
Risk- och miljöstudier är ett tvärvetenskapligt ämne som hämtar teoribildning och sina forskningstraditioner från framförallt miljövetenskap, folkhälsovetenskap och riskhantering. Ämnet är i huvudsak inriktat mot samhällets behov av att systematiskt hantera olika hot och risker mot människors hälsa, samhällsviktiga funktioner eller vår gemensamma miljö. Risk- och miljöstudier omfattar såväl analys av hotbilden som förberedande och förebyggande arbete inom ramen för hållbar utveckling.
Studier i risk- och miljö vid Karlstads universitet innebär att du får studera såväl naturvetenskap som samhällsvetenskap och humaniora. Vi ger flera olika fristående kurser, många på distans, och ansvarar för två program:
- Kandidatprogrammet Miljö och säkerhet, 180 hp
- Masterprogrammet Riskhantering i samhället, 120 hp
Utbildningarna förbereder dig för ett yrkesliv inom exempelvis miljöarbete, systematiskt säkerhetsarbete och klimatanpassning. I kandidatprogrammet integreras riskhantering och miljövetenskap med fokus på samhällets hantering av olika miljörisker. På masterprogrammet förenar vi personsäkerhet som syftar till att förhindra personskador i olika miljöer med studier av storskaliga risker i samhället. Dessa två områden kompletteras med kurser om riskkommunikation, riskuppfattning, klimatanpassning och hållbar utveckling.
