Strongly connected to the business world, the course has been designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge required to identify, assess and manage strategic, organisational, environmental and technological risks, as well as the threats presented by unpredictable situations. You will focus on both operational and strategic issues and develop your abilities in business continuity, crisis and resilience management. At Aberdeen Business School, we are in the business of changing your tomorrow. Academic staff who teach on this course have worked in a range of professional backgrounds, are ‘business-connected’ and use professional networks and their academic research to ensure teaching is professionally relevant and cutting edge.
