Objectives and Contextualisation
A correct risk management goes through the analysis of the same, its correct evaluation, in its reduction or cancellation, the correct valuation and its financing in case a mishap occurs.
In this subject, the necessary skills for a risk manager will be worked on so that, once incorporated into a company, he will develop his activities controlling the risks and being prepared for any setback.
For this, and based on the existing risks, the student will acquire the basic knowledge to:
- Identify and evaluate the risks.
- Know the preventive systems capable of organizing the human and material means to be able to face the risks that the developed activities entail and, should they occur, that the consequences and the period of involvement be the minimum.
- Prevent them and protect themselves against risks in the most appropriate way.
- Assess the possible consequences of a loss both direct and indirect.
- Propose adequate financing systems to be able to face the possible contingencies that may arise. Know how you have to develop the investigation of the causes of an accident.

Methodology
Taking into account that the modality of the class is Online, with the aim of achieving the learning objectives described in this Guide, we will develop a methodology that combines the individual study from the Manual, and the readings that will be presented in each topic, in addition of some documentaries.
It should be noted that due to the Online model, students will have to prepare the materials autonomously (documents, readings, videos, etc.) and the forums and Online sessions will be devoted to deepening on the topics discussed, as well as solving possible doubts
Tutorials with the faculty will be arranged by email.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
