During this event, you will attend a lecture from the course Case Study Fukushima, taught by Dr. Andrea Bartolucci. This will give you a clear impression of whether the programme matches your interests and if it could be the right choice for you.

One of our student ambassadors will welcome you at our Wijnhaven building and share first-hand insights about the programme and studying in The Hague. You will also have plenty of opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

About the course 'Case Study Fukushima'

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami that struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant. This event resulted in a nuclear meltdown and a release of radioactive material. This disaster is an example of a non-intentional threat (safety) to vital interests in modern society.

In this course, students will delve into the Fukushima case and explore the broader topic of nuclear safety by drawign upon knowledge and methods from relevant academic disciplines. At the end of this course, they will be able to review an event, or a series of cascading events, through multiple academic lenses and analytical framework within the realm of security and safety.

By following the logic of interdisciplinary thinking, students will develop the ability and skills necessary to understand and explain nuclear accidents and disasters in terms of causes, effects, and implications for organisations (public and private), citizens, and the natural environment. Read more
