International Risk Management and Finance

Advertisement

Risk management now a key driver in business and there is a rapidly increasing requirement for Masters graduates to provide core risk management assistance. Few organisations today would make any major decisions concerning new projects without first assessing the risks involved.

Risk management is a key discipline in its own right, but also needs to meet the requirements of corporate governance and ethical practice. As the importance of this area grows following the global credit crunch and recent financial scandals, there is a growing demand for highly motivated individuals who can operate successfully within this field internationally and cross-culturally.

This course is designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop the core competencies and technical skills which will enable you to contribute to and to flourish in such an environment. In particular, you will develop and apply your decision-making skills to complex practical situations. The comparison of theory and practice provides a rich source of material in this area and serves to prepare you for a variety of possible roles within an international business organisation.
