Systems Theory and Resilience Thinking

About this programme

Resilience thinking uses systems concepts to understand slow and abrupt changes. Key resilience concepts will be introduced. Students will be introduced to theoretical concepts, methods for analysis, and conduct group and individual research projects that utilize these concepts and methods. The course will mix and combine formal lectures, seminars, field observations, and group- and individual project work. Most of these activities will be compulsory. The different modules will be examined separately. Assessments will be mostly based on project reports (written and verbal) produced in individual- and/or group work. Applicants that meet the eligibility requirements are ranked based on their merit rating. Only students with the highest merit ratings are selected for our programmes. The merit rating is based on the following two selection criteria, with equal weight: To submit your motivation letter you must use our form (updated yearly, only latest version accepted), a letter with link and more information (including deadline to submit) is sent to all applicants after last day to apply. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities. To explore city and countryside. In Stockholm you can really get the best of both worlds. Here we explain all the different steps you need to go through when applying to a course or programme. Stockholm University arranges regular webinars and participates in educational fairs and events virtually and around the world to meet students and inform them about our study programmes.
