In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing global business environment, the management of risk requires a broad range of skills, knowledge and experience.
The MSc Risk Management programme provides an in depth understanding of risk and their application in practice both for financial and non-financial organisations. Students will learn both theoretical and practical understanding of risk including risk measurement and modelling using computer software (e.g. Palisade Decision Tools). In addition, we subscribe to several industry linked databases (e.g. Thomson Reuters EIKON) that students can use in their study and research.
Accredited by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and the Institute of Risk Management (IRM), this programme is designed to provide you with the skills to excel in a role as a risk manager, risk and insurance manager, risk analyst or clinical risk manager within a variety of organisations and sectors.
You will develop the ability to establish risk policy and structures for business units, design and review processes for risk management, develop risk response processes including contingency and business continuity programmes.
Our programme is based on current research and publications in the field, and taught by staff who understand the key concerns of managers in both the private and public sectors.
This programme is offered full-time and by distance learning at our London and Glasgow campuses. You can start your studies either in September or January.
