Risk Assessment and Regulatory Systems
This course will introduce students to major global regulatory frameworks that play a key role in how risk assessments are conducted to support regulatory and policy related decision making. The focus will be on North American and European frameworks, but there will be some exposure to other regulatory frameworks used elsewhere in the world. Students will also have the opportunity to explore such frameworks in more detail themselves in the case studies they will be working on as part of their assignments.
