Risk management is a core competency of banks. Recent events such as the financial crises and major compliance breaches demonstrated that risk governance (including risk culture and risk strategy/appetite) is still not fully developed at many firms. Thus, this course is focused on the qualitative elements of risk management, involving extensive group work and up-to-date case studies. The course is hence highly interactive, incorporating the views and experience of the participants.
Upon completion of this course, you will understand:
This course is offered in the part-time Master in Finance program and may be attended on a “no credit” basis by individuals not enrolled in the program. Course participants are visitors who are not responsible for assignments and do not take an exam or earn academic credits.

There are two main things which make returning for Open Programs such a valuable and worthwhile experience. The first is being back on campus – meeting the current students, returning to campus again, the whole experience was just so pleasant. The second is the level of quality in the courses – the faculty teaching are absolute experts.
