The Railway Risk and Safety Management programmes have been jointly developed by the Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE) at the University of Birmingham and the High Integrity Systems Engineering (HISE) Group at the University of York. The programme team aims to create a deep and robust understanding of approaches to manage safety and risk in transport systems and projects. The partners recognise that each transport sector and mode has its own specific features but seek to ensure that a common approach is taken to the generic issues involved in ensuring dependable operations.
This postgraduate programme is intended for people that work for or expect to work for mainline railways, metros, tram systems or automated people movers. The full-time programme suits numerate graduates who wish to enter the railway industry and professionals in the industry who wish to develop the necessary skills in the shortest possible time. Ideally candidates will have at least 18 months of relevant experience. The primary method for teaching is classroom-based lectures, which are delivered in one week blocks. In addition, some distance learning through software tools is part of the taught programme.
