Changing Lives

The MSc Risk Management is a great course ideal for any student who wishes to broaden their horizons and open a world of new career changes. As the course is taught from a multi disciplinary approach, the words "Risk Management" can be applied to almost any field in any business.

The course has changed my life completely. Having done an honours degree in Business Studies I was planning to pursue a career in business management, but the Risk MSc has opened doors to new careers in the health and safety, environment and policy making sectors. The key to this course is the students and teachers you meet, they all have expertise in particular fields which give you the ability to network.

Currently I work as a safety engineer for a rail, construction and civil engineering company, the work involves me managing the safety of large construction and civil projects for the London Underground & Dockland Light Rails. I am also working towards a chartered status with IOSH which I hope to have mid next year.  

The degree has given me the ability and confidence to manage large projects with a practical approach to safety and the ability to accept, communicate and manage certain risk.

The course is well structured and gives the student an array of modules ranging from business, environmental science, health and safety. The lecturers and professors who teach the course deliver to the highest standard and ensure their students have as many resources as possible.

I would like to thank the members DARM and my fellow students who provided me the support necessary to accomplish this degree.
