Acquiring advanced academic knowledge about the qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative methods of risk analysis, and enabling students to apply these methods.

Students possess advanced academic knowledge about the qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative risk analysis methods. They are able to solve problems of different levels of complexity on their own, as well as in communication and interaction with others. They are entrepreneurial and can lead projects of different complexity by respecting the ethical standards of their profession. They have a positive attitude towards lifelong learning and personal and professional development.
