Training presentation
Against a backdrop of ever-increasing social, health, environmental and industrial risks, Quality, Health, Safety and Environment functions are attracting growing attention in both public and private organizations. The increase in the number of natural disasters, and people's growing demand for preventive and protective action on the part of local players, means that skills linked to the reliability of services and products, the management of environmental externalities, and the analysis of major risks are essential to any organization.
This Master's degree in public management in the "Management, quality and societal risk management" field is designed to build skills over two years. Building on a first year that covers the theoretical, legal and technical aspects of public administration, the second year is designed to train tomorrow's quality and risk managers through theoretical and practical teaching, and by exposing them to the realities of the field through meetings with professionals in these fields. Complementary courses, such as crisis management and project management, reinforce the expertise of these students, who are destined to join both public and private organizations.
