These risks can have significant impacts on public health, safety, and well-being, as well as on the economy and the environment. Public risk management involves identifying and assessing potential risks and implementing measures to reduce or mitigate them.

This course is designed to comprehensively understand public risks and how they can be managed. Public risks refer to the potential harms or dangers that may affect a group of people or the general public, such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks, acts of terrorism, cyber-attacks, environmental pollution, accidents involving transportation, risks associated with public infrastructure, social unrest and civil disturbances.

The course will also focus on the benefits of Work-integrated learning paths (WILPs) in addressing public risks. WILPs are a vital feature of this course, providing students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in their chosen field. WIL benefits include:

1. Enhanced employability: it provides students with the skills and experience highly valued by employers, increasing their chances of finding employment after graduation.
2. Improved practical skills: allows students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations, developing practical skills and knowledge essential for success in the workforce.
3. Increased industry connections: often involves working with industry professionals, which can help students build connections in their chosen field and increase their chances of finding employment after graduation.
4. Opportunities for career exploration: helps students better understand the different career paths available and help them make more informed decisions about their future careers.
5. Facilitation of the learning process: helps students to connect theoretical concepts with practical applications, which may help them to retain information better.
6. Encouragement of professional development: WIL provides students with opportunities to learn about the latest industry trends and technologies and to develop professional skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

Upon completing this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify and assess public risks and implement measures to reduce or mitigate them.
