Disaster Prevention and Disaster Management: master's degree course at the University of Bonn
Further education to be prepared for everything: the master's degree course in Disaster Prevention and Disaster Management (KaVoMa) at the University of Bonn targets managers responsible for protecting the population and vital infrastructure. Students and alumni work, for example, in public authorities, but also in the health sector or for private companies. Johannes Hartl, a KaVoMa alumnus and expert in crisis management at Deutsche Telekom, explains how he is dealing with the Corona pandemic: "What helps me in particular is what I learned about structured crisis management, reaction levels and leadership methods. Another thing I find helpful is the subject of my master's thesis, which dealt with pandemic planning in telecommunications companies."

Starting in the winter semester 2020/21, the new master's degree course in 'International Organisations and Crisis Management' aims to cover a wide range of fields from the euro crisis to the migration crisis and the Corona pandemic.
