03Pathway

The pathway through the stream

Courses by study level, each with the course it builds on, the labs it uses and the faculty stage where its subject is practised.

04What it teaches

Scope, audience and next steps

How risk behaves inside one sector and where it crosses into the next: a drought that is also a power and a food problem, a grid that depends on telecoms and markets, a health system that depends on supply chains.

Who it is for. Practitioners in a sector who need to see beyond it, and analysts who serve several sectors.

What comes next. The cross-stream practicum closes the stream; the Systems stream then generalises the couplings.
