Risk Management and Business Intelligence

In today’s global economy, risk management and business intelligence form a vital part of a company’s strategic planning and decision-making. Financial crises, health scares, and other major challenges all indicate the essential need for firms to be able to assess and minimize risk effectively. It is also necessary to analyze and manage the ever-growing volume of business data. HKUST’s BSc in Risk Management and Business Intelligence (RMBI) is the first in Hong Kong to integrate these two fields and to answer both market needs in one degree program.
