About Master in Risk and Safety (MSc)

For Master in Risk and Safety (MSc), tuition costs 14,018 USD per year.

Risk and Safety is a four-semester MSc programme at the Technical University of Munich preparing engineers and applied scientists to assess, manage, and communicate risk across technical and societal systems. The programme addresses situations where safety must be demonstrated before new technologies can be deployed — from autonomous transport to energy storage — as well as contexts where risk management shapes the operation of existing systems, including built infrastructure under climate change and aircraft fleet maintenance. It also covers policy-facing applications such as managing responses to epidemics and natural hazards. The curriculum is divided into three compulsory blocks — Fundamentals, Risk and Society, and Risk in Practice — and three elective blocks: Risk Methods and Analysis, Risk Management, and general elective modules. Courses draw on domain-specific engineering expertise, stochastic modelling and computation, risk perception and communication, and tools for managing safety and risks. The programme values project-based learning and includes a dedicated module called RiskLab that encourages direct engagement with industry. Students can specialise in specific application domains by selecting from the broad portfolio of courses available at TUM. The programme admits students in the winter semester and is located at the Technical University of Munich in Munich, Germany.
