MBA in Risk Management

MBA in Risk Management Programme Outline

This MBA in Risk Management aims to rationalise and demonstrate that applying sound principles of risk management can create value far beyond the cost of doing business or the need to comply. When managers are educated to the level whereby they can manage the variety of business risks themselves that are likely to confront organisations both currently and in the future, organisations will be better equipped to handle these risks.

During this programme students will obtain tangible benefits from a series of workshops (and articles) delivering knowledge and practical applications (of principles and concepts) for managing various disciplines relating to risk.
