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

The general methods for interconnected risk: network structure and robustness, how shocks propagate, how to write and test scenarios, and how to state uncertainty and confidence honestly.

Who it is for. Analysts and leads who work across sectors, regions or scales.

What comes next. Systems courses feed the Nexus-Based Risk Management stream, which applies them across every scope.
