Risk Analysis is a course that aims to provide students with skills in risk and resilience analysis methods of systems, structures or infrastructure exposed to natural and non-natural hazards such as floods, accidental pollution, earthquakes, landslides, etc.

It is part of the Master's Degree in "Civil Engineering for Protection against Natural Hazards", which aims to train civil engineers capable of solving complex problems related to new or unfamiliar issues embedded in broad (including interdisciplinary) contexts related to structural and water engineering.

The course aims to teach the concepts of hazard, vulnerability, fragility, risk and resilience, the theoretical formulation and the probabilistic approach to risk analysis. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to (i) apply the methods of probabilistic risk analysis, (ii) critically evaluate the results, including their use in making decisions about prevention, mitigation and adaptation measures, and (iii) communicate the results effectively.
