Confirmation of "Risk Focus"

Why a Risk Focus?

Most -if not all- challenging risks society faces, such as climate risk, technological risks, energy risks, health risks, economic risks and many more, can only be managed through an interdisciplinary approach. Because these risks are increasingly connected, tackling them becomes more and more complex. At the corporate level, the complexity and interdependence of risks keeps rising: Business interruption risk, cyber attacks, natural hazards, macroeconomic shocks...

21st Century Risk Managers must have a holistic and interdisciplinary mindset. Only then can they understand and overcome the increasing complexity of interdependent social, natural, and engineered systems. The confirmation of "Risk Focus" acknowledges that students have followed an integrative curriculum that puts them on the right track to becoming an all-round risk expert.
