MSc Risk Management with Professional Practice

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 a 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.
