Risk, Reliability and Safety Engineering

The course content covers the following core areas:

• Modeling
• Risk assessment
• Simulation

A large number of procedures for risk assessment are based on fundamental methods. The programme teaches the fundamental approaches to risk assessment. Building on this, case-related variants, for example quantitative, qualitative and numerical methods, are learned. Another focus is the modeling and simulation of risk scenarios and the derivation of protection concepts.

The focus of the master's programme is methodological competence. Quantitative and qualitative risk analysis, technical and functional safety, risk assessments and also resilience engineering are examined from different perspectives and contexts in order to convey a comprehensive understanding of the existing methods and approaches. 
This means you will be able to apply well-known, classic analysis, assessment and treatment methods to problems, and can also combine suitable aspects from a wide range of methods.

Many of our students complete their studies part-time in order to gain additional practical experience in various areas of security.  Our students also often write their master's theses in cooperation with a company, public authority or research institution. For example, our part-time students have worked as external service providers in the fields of occupational health and safety and data protection, were safety engineers at a major institution and were involved in security research. The different experiences and current problems that the students and professors bring to the lectures and seminars make them particularly lively and instructive.
