The course is designed to fit in with the demands of professionals working in the Emergency Services. It aims to develop academic skills by providing an academic underpinning to the skill development of critical incident managers. This is a blended-learning course; a mix of independent study, on-line working and residential, which will be held at the University's Heaton Mount campus. The residentials will be delivered in 3- day blocks, normally mid-week, allowing for the nature of shift cover encountered by those attending this programme. It is expected that there will be one residential stay each semester throughout the course of the programme. The course is offered in a part-time (3 years - 5 years maximum) mode. All modules are compulsory plus a dissertation which will provide an appropriate learning framework for developing advanced specialist and professional skills. The Masters qualification comprises 180 credits; 10 or 20 credits for each taught module and 60 credits for the dissertation.
