Objectives & career opportunities

NORISK EMJM will equip students with advanced knowledge and skills to work and develop a professional career in risk assessment, management, reliability and risk analysis, monitoring, digitalization, and intervention in civil infrastructures, especially those supporting human activities and/or considered critical, such as those connected to the energy, transportation, communications, water, health, defense and national security, banking and finance sectors, among others. In fact, risk assessment combined with concepts like reliability, robustness, resilience, and sustainability, is crucial for optimized asset management, being transversal to all these infrastructures/sectors.

NORISK will exploit common denominators that exist in all these sectors by addressing risk assessment towards better management. Therefore, the EMJM addresses the following key areas in civil infrastructure management, which are not adequately addressed in the general curricula of traditional Bachelor's and Master's programs:

• Risk assessment and management
• Reliability and resilience
• Management tools and decision-making
• Monitoring and digitalization
• Assessment and intervention
