**[Massey University -- Graduate Diploma in Emergency
Management]{.underline}**

Massey University is offering a Graduate Diploma in Emergency
Management. Emergency Management is concerned with both disaster
prevention and management. In its broadest sense, emergency management
focuses on the organisation of communities to respond to disasters, to
survive them, to rebuild social structures and infrastructure, and to
sustain and preserve life. Entry requirements are a university degree or
an approved qualification and sufficient background, qualifications or
experience in civil defence and emergency management.

**Programme Structure**

The GradDipEmergMgt is a 120-credit qualification consisting of two
compulsory 700-level papers (60 credits), Emergency Management, and at
least one of the 700-level papers - Natural Hazards or Coping with

at the 200, 300 or 700-level. The course is offered entirely in
extramural mode (distance teaching).

Of the 120 credits, at least 60 credits are at 700 level, and not more
