Decision problems pop up almost everywhere, and a proper handling of them is fundamental for a well-functioning society. Decisions that are not thought through and made by gut feeling often have unfavourable consequences. In this programme you will learn how to handle decision situations in a systematic way so that preferred consequences are probable.
Further you will be made familiar with the theoretical background of decision and risk analysis that is needed for a research career in the field.
This programme is given either at full-time (100%) or part-time (50%) study pace. The 50% study pace is more suitable for students that combine studies with professional work. (Note that you apply to a 100% study pace and when admitted you have the option to study at 100% or 50% study pace.)
