Risk management is a crucial part of running any business. If you can manage day-to-day business problems and remain calm in the face of a crisis, you may have what it takes to work in the field of risk and crisis management.
Our MSc Risk, Crisis and Resilience Management degree will build on your existing skills and help you to become an expert in managing crises. You’ll graduate ready to steer organisations through critical situations as a risk manager, ensuring their success and yours.
This Master’s course uses an organisational and people focused approach to risk management, rather than a financial or cyber risk approach like many other degrees in the sector.
On this Institute of Risk Management (IRM) accredited course you’ll learn to identify, assess and manage strategic, organisational, environmental and technological risks, as well as threats presented by unpredictable situations. You’ll explore topics including counter-terrorism, political violence, and emerging and strategic risks.
You’ll complete a one day simulation activity where you’ll work in teams to manage a crisis as it unfolds in real time. You’ll work with various viewpoints from within a business during the simulation.
