The Partnership
In 2020, the University of Portsmouth and CEG Digital partnered to create Portsmouth Online, a portfolio of flexible learning courses which equip students with valuable skills and knowledge, without interrupting income and career progression. All Portsmouth Online courses are developed and led by University academics. We believe that effective online courses need to have high levels of tuition and support, and central to this is the role of the Online Tutor.
The Course
This exciting new MSc course helps students to identify risk across sectors and develop appropriate strategies and techniques to prepare and cope with crises. Students discover how to develop a strong risk culture to enable more effective risk management. They will learn to understand differing perceptions of risk and cultural differences in approaches to risk, while developing critical thinking and analysis skills to evaluate problems in an organisational context.
The Module
This module examines theories of environmental risk and the approaches to environmental risk, organisational risk and corporate security management that an organisation may employ, specifically with regard to environmental risk management, sustainability and ethical corporate responsibilities. Students will look at identifying the associated issues and challenges affecting organisations as well as the most appropriate responses and a strategy’s impact.
