Technical University of Munich
Garching
Risk & Safety
Subjects: Security
M.Sc. | Master of Science
Course description
Managing risks is crucial in both engineering and society. Without proving adequate safety, we can't introduce new technologies like autonomous transportation systems or sustainable energy production and storage. Risk assessment and management are vital for designing and operating engineering systems and processes. This includes managing the built environment under climate change and optimizing maintenance for aircraft fleets. Policy-making for human-made systems needs experts who grasp risk and uncertainty. These experts influence decision outcomes, such as when creating, implementing, and communicating strategies for epidemics or natural hazards. Understanding these elements is essential for effective and safe technological advancement.
