Our PG Cert in Natural Hazards for Insurers provides students with the intellectual and practical tools for making informed decisions in day-to-day encounters with natural hazards, exposure and loss.
Climate and environmental change, increasing development and urbanisation, and mounting exposure to natural hazards are imposing growing pressure on insurers and reinsurers to seek ways of limiting exposure and reducing vulnerability. Our Postgraduate Certificate Natural Hazards for Insurers programme provides students with a better understanding of natural and anthropogenic hazards and the means by which their impacts on the market can be mitigated or avoided. The part-time programme is specifically designed for those looking to enter or already working in the insurance or reinsurance sector, but also anyone working to reduce the risk from natural hazards in the aid agency, disaster and emergency management, environmental management, business security and continuity, and contingency risk sectors. It is the only programme of its kind in the UK and is a professionally recognised qualification that is accredited by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) as appropriate continuing professional development for those working in that sector. Check out this page for more information about our programme, and visit UCL Earth Sciences for additional details.
