Program details

Overview

This course responds to fast-changing financial markets and to the regulatory overhaul that has altered the skills demanded in risk teams at financial institutions. It is accredited by GARP, the risk professionals' body, and runs as a twelve-month full-time programme. Its focus is on applying risk techniques to current conditions rather than to past models. Teaching pairs a practical emphasis with current market insight drawn from the school's long-standing academic partnerships. Learners are linked to the CFA Institute and receive exemptions from some professional examinations of PRMIA, which can shorten later certification work. A summer work placement forms part of the study plan, helping students strengthen employability skills while on the course. Graduates leave with a grounding suited to the modern risk function.
