  • “Unleash Your Potential” Communities All Over the World Are Becoming Increasingly BBA in Disaster Management More Vulnerable to Disasters, Whether Natural Or Man-Made
    A campus of Stenden University* Everybody wants to live in a society where they are able to flourish and live meaningful lives. “Unleash Your Potential” Communities all over the world are becoming increasingly BBA in Disaster Management more vulnerable to disasters, whether natural or man-made. Disaster Management is more than just response and relief, it is a cyclical and systematic process based on key management principles. The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Disaster Management is the first of its kind in the world and provides students with professional and practical skills combined with a multi-disciplinary academic approach. In their third year of study students will also have an opportunity to pursue a specialisation in a specific area of Disaster Management. These could include: • Peacebuilding and conflict resolution • Community building and risk/vulnerability reduction • Food security in Africa • International protocol and diplomacy • Climate change, severe weather, extreme events and disasters The closely associated fields of disaster management and disaster risk reduction are growing exponentially and this qualification enables the student to extend his/her skills beyond just the immediate relief and recovery environment during industrial placement. Students will be exposed to the whole disaster management cycle, from prevention and mitigation, assessment of risk and vulnerability, and to response, relief and recovery from disaster impacts. The range of careers depends on the motivation and drive of the student and can range from international agencies including the United Nations and the Red Cross/Red Crescent; to national, regional and local levels of governments (formal disaster management structures); universities; the security and risk management industry; emergency management; hospitals; community relief organisations; agricultural and climate-related organisations, and environmental consultancies.
