Institute of Crisis Management Studies Introduction:
The Institute of Crisis Management Studies is a newly established centre for academia focusing on management of crises, those occurring both as a result of human activity and natural causes. It offers a unique, multidisciplinary Master of Arts in Crisis Management, providing the very best national and international scholars, practitioners and experts currently engaged in the diverse areas pertaining to crisis. The ICMS also offers trainings, simulation exercises and field visits, not only as part of the curriculum but as practical exercises for a range of different governmental and non-governmental organizations and initiatives.
The specialised nature of the ICMS extends to its purpose-built grounds, computer facilities, and online learning experiences to inspire students to forward themselves and the subject. Our dedication to producing crisis managers means a commitment to undertaking and facilitating the very newest research in the subject and providing a forum for policy dialogues and symposiums into current issues relating to crisis. To these ends the scholarly and practical activities currently being undertaken stand both in the service of the nation and the international community. For further information, please refer to our website: www.tuicms.edu.np
The program will not only present students with a rigorous multidisciplinary academic dimension, lectured by expert staff who have worked in both International and National contexts, but also the practical aspects of crisis management. This will be achieved through field visits, excursions and simulation exercises.
Nepal acts as an excellent setting for international students wishing to learn and apply skills in crisis management. It ranks amongst the most disaster risk prone countries on earth and from a sociological and anthropological point of view is extremely rich and diverse. Lectures and tutorials will be taught in English and there will be opportunities to acquire work placements with international organisations working in the field of crisis management.
