Posted on: 03 May 2018

Trinity’s School of Psychology recently celebrated the first cohort of graduates from one of the University’s first online masters programmes.

Since 2015 Trinity’s Online M.Sc./Postgraduate Diploma in Managing Risk and System Change has attracted students from a wide range of industries, including Finance, Emergency Services, Health, Aviation, Casino and Gambling, Law Reinforcement, Process and Software development across the globe.

It is the first course of its kind that brings the next generation of safety, risk and change management that is embedded in everyday operational practice with a systemic, proactive and performance focus. World-class international teams who have collaborated through industrial research provide the highest calibre research led teaching, supervision and professional expertise. 

Professor Siobhán Corrigan Course Director stated: ‘’ We are thrilled to see our graduates celebrate the hard work they have put in.  For us, our focus on managing risk is exactly what safety critical industries need, and our students have been able to actively implement this expertise into their workplace”

The Class of 2017 is a diverse group including graduates from the Irish emergency services such as the Irish Coast Guard, Fire Brigade and Irish Air Corps. Students also have backgrounds in industries such as healthcare, finance and transport. The online delivery of the course allowed students based in Malta, Italy and Brazil join Trinity’s Irish students, creating an international community.

The School is holding a Trinity Campus Open Evening for interested students on Wednesday May 9th, 2018 from 6 p.m.

The option of Certificate Level qualification for this course will also be available from September 2019.  Applications for entry in September 2018 are open now.
