STUDIES

Interdisciplinary. Research-led. Practical.

Our society is affected by simultaneously occurring and cross-system crises, such as climate change, armed conflicts and pandemics. The risks from industrial plants, but also of new technological developments (energy transition), must be anticipated, socially assessed and managed in the best possible way. The demand for technically skilled, highly qualified key personnel is greater than ever.

Our graduates are in great demand on the job market!

The University of Leoben is known for its top positions within worldwide university rankings. Together with our cooperation partners Geosphere Austria, EURECA-PRO, Zentrum am Berg, TÜV-Süd and VÖSI, we offer well founded training for future decision makers within the framework of Safety and Disaster Studies.

Take the helm in a crisis!

Finding solutions when others are at a loss - crisis management requires not only broad-based knowledge, systematic thinking and the ability to network across disciplines, but also a high level of leadership skills.

No one becomes a crisis manager overnight. Rather, the path to becoming one goes hand in hand with a personal development process in the course of which one learns to maintain the ability to reflect in critical situations and thus make rational decisions.
