Study Details: MSc one year full-time, two years part-time
Risk management has developed over the last 20 years both as an academic discipline and profession. It is relevant to all aspects of industry, commerce, consultancy and the public sector and is of importance to those with a variety of career aspirations or backgrounds, such as accountants, project managers, insurers, chartered surveyors, health care professionals, lawyers, bankers, auditors, health and safety professionals, and engineers.
This course is designed to appeal to a broad risk management body and recognises the inter-disciplinary nature of the subject.
There is an increased recognition that risk needs to be managed and not simply avoided, which has a major impact on organisational strategy. In turn, this is accompanied by increased risk regulation which has created a dynamic employment market for those managers with the necessary qualifications, training and skills.
You may also make progress with professional qualifications, as the course attracts exemptions from the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) exams. In addition you will gain affiliate membership of the Association of Insurance and Risk Management (AIRMIC) while studying at Leicester Business School.
You should hold a good honours degree, or an overseas equivalent, in any subject. Work experience is desirable but not essential. If English is not your first language, an IELTS score of 6.5 (including a minimum of 5.5 in each component) or equivalent is normally required. English language tuition is available both before and during the course if required.
