Antecedentes

This Master’s programme is an advanced postgraduate course (60 ECTS) offered by the University of Málaga, with the recognition of UNITAR-CIFAL Málaga. It is designed to strengthen institutional and individual capacities in the field of emergency and disaster management through a multidisciplinary approach. 

The programme responds to the increasing complexity of emergency contexts, requiring coordinated, multi-agency responses and integrated planning across prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. It brings together academic expertise and operational knowledge from key emergency actors, ensuring alignment between theoretical frameworks and practical implementation. 

This Postgraduate Studies programme constitutes a Master’s Degree with 60 ECTS academic credits, which is based on a multidisciplinary vision appropriate to the different resources involved in emergency and disaster situations: health services, social care, security, and rescue forces. It proposes a comprehensive approach to intervention and management in crisis and disaster situations.
