AIM LAUNCHES 18-MONTH EXECUTIVE MASTER IN DISASTER RISK AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT

The Asian Institute of Management (AIM) recently launched the 18-month extensive, immersive, and practitioner-oriented Executive Master in Disaster Risk and Crisis Management (EMDRCM).

EMDRCM is a five-term, part-time graduate degree program that adopts a holistic multi-disciplinary approach, which allows students to tackle a broad range of cases in the disaster continuum.

The program aims to equip students with the skills they need to build resilient Asian organizations and communities using management and leadership principles, as well as good business practices.

With the EMDRCM, AIM becomes one of the few educational institutions that tackle disaster risk and crisis management from a business and management perspective. This is in contrast to most programs that are based on earth sciences, social sciences, or engineering/technology studies.

Graduates of the EMDRCM course are expected to be able to centrally embed themselves in different networks in order to operate in different levels and sectors. Students will learn how to assess and analyze the disaster risk and crisis environment and its operational context, as well as how to develop coordinated and integrated approached to address different types of disaster and crises.
