Having been a successful policeman in the London Metropolitan Police Force for some years, Chris Yorke looked for an opportunity to help him build on the skills he had acquired and develop knowledge to take his career in a different direction.
He found it in the University of Portsmouth’s MSc Risk, Crisis and Resilience Management postgraduate programme which fitted the bill exactly. He reflected “Being a policeman you are constantly put in situations that are a test of your decision-making - ultimately in managing the risk of unpredictable or potentially dangerous situations. It was a great foundation, but I felt the masters would push me onto wider strategic thinking about risk.”
