Master’s in Resilience, Emergency & Continuity Engineering

Resilience, Emergency & Continuity Engineering addresses the planning, design and management of critical services and infrastructure under adverse conditions, combining risk management, failure analysis and probabilistic modelling to secure robustness and rapid operational recovery. The programme covers redundant system design, business impact analysis, simulation and stress testing and incident and crisis management, using methodologies aligned with ISO 22301, ISO 22316, ISO 31000 and ISO 22320 for continuity, resilience and emergency management. Advanced tools are used to assess vulnerabilities in operational technology and ICT under frameworks such as IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27031 and IEC 61508, with emphasis on the integrity of safety- and mission-critical systems during emergencies.

Specialised labs support data acquisition and reliability analysis, discrete-event and agent-based simulation, OT cyber-range exercises and failover testing, ensuring traceable processes in line with ISO 22398 exercise guidelines, NIS2 and the CER Directive. The training prepares graduates for roles such as resilience engineer, business continuity manager, risk analyst, management system auditor and emergency and crisis manager, with an integrated view of how to keep services running and limit the impact of incidents in complex environments.

Target keywords (naturally used in the text): organisational resilience, emergency management, business continuity, ISO 22301, ISO 31000, critical infrastructure resilience, risk analysis, disaster recovery.
