Master of Science - Risk Management

All decision-making entails uncertainties and the challenges posed by risk have never been more apparent. Adaption to this “new normal” is essential.

Consider:

• Seismic ripples from health pandemics will reverberate throughout the foundations of society for years to come • Increasingly volatile climate-related events are unravelling organisational plans in the short and long term

• Geopolitical tensions, populist forces, terrorism and escalating trade wars distort the once-calm waters of multinationals • Corporate reputations are precarious and a minor error on social media can induce crisis

The path to risk resilience is as exciting as it is complex and requires a new generation of skilled risk managers to lead the way.

Students will join a leading UK provider with over 30 years of Risk Management teaching experience and benefit from the university's longstanding links and excellent reputation with industry bodies and professionals while developing the advanced skillset employers need today and in the future.

This course provides students with contemporary knowledge of risk practices. This includes: crisis management, cyber risk, insurance and risk transfer, business continuity management and managing risk in a global context. Students will explore state-of-the-art risk management processes enabling them to identify emerging organisational risks, analyse and model their effects and design effective response strategies.
