Studies in emergency management involve gaining knowledge and skills necessary to protect communities from the fallout of natural or man-made disasters. These studies may include techniques in the planning, directing and organizing of teams to intervene and ensure public safety in crisis situations.

A BSc (Bachelor of Science) is an undergraduate degree that prepares students for a career in their field of study. While the degree is often related to courses in the realm of science, students in non-science fields can also earn a BSc.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
