"I have met a lot of interesting people at the Master of Disaster Management programme. The students and teachers are incredibly competent and from very diverse backgrounds.
What I especially like is that the programme is case-centered and involves a lot of team work. This is a very useful approach, because in disaster situations you always work in teams!"
