Overview

Risk and Environment Track
Academic Director: Laurence Weil

  • Master's in Risk Management, Safety, and Security

The Master’s in Risk and Environment, with a specialization in Security and Safety Management, provides a dual legal and operational skill set that is particularly well-suited to addressing the specific challenges of cindynique (the science of risk) in order to contribute to comprehensive risk management and the protection of people, property, and tangible and intangible assets.

 

The current context—following the tragic events linked to terrorism and the growing range of risks facing businesses and communities—has highlighted the need for leaders who possess expertise in both QHSE management and security.

 

This multidisciplinary program, which combines risk management, crisis management preparation, managerial skills, and communication skills, prepares students for future executive roles so that they can serve as experts and advisors to senior management and contribute to the implementation, oversight, and monitoring of QSE policy, drawing on their advanced expertise in the field of safety.
