In as little as one year you can gain the knowledge and skills involved in risk reduction, disaster resilience, emergency risk communication, response and leadership in emergency. The Postgraduate Diploma in Emergency Management programme is suitable if you want a career in the emergency and disaster management field or are already working in the field and would like to gain a tertiary level qualification to complement your work experience. The programme is regularly reviewed to align with current research, practice and policies in emergency and disaster management. We see ourselves as playing a significant role in building community disaster resilience through delivering an innovative and quality teaching and research programme to both New Zealand and international students. Central to the philosophy of this programme is reducing risk to communities where possible, improving health and the psychosocial impact of emergency situations on individuals, and enhancing recovery processes.
