Globalisation, technological enhancements and a turbulent business environment are calling for an enhanced ability to manage risk and a strong focus on business continuity in all sectors. The Business with Strategic Risk Management course at Robert Gordon University offers managers, both new and experienced, the opportunity to develop their managerial skills.
You will develop a particular expertise in the management of risks. Strongly connected to the business world, the course has been designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge required to identify, assess and manage strategic, organisational, environmental and technological risks, as well as the threats presented by unpredictable situations.
Applicants normally hold a 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or its equivalent in any subject discipline.

This course is for new graduates or experienced professionals who wish to have a career in business. You may be from a non-relevant (i.e. non business) academic or professional background. It is also for those already working in business, at a junior or middle manager level, and seeking to progress their career with reinforced skills in human resource management. If you are looking to enter this field and have no relevant formal qualifications, this course will allow you to gain the necessary expertise.
Stage 1
You will increase your understanding of how and why business operates and develop your knowledge of the basic elements and techniques of change, resilience and quality management. You will reinforce your professional and transferable skills in interpersonal communication and teamwork.
Stage 2
You will begin to critically review and manipulate a range of analytical tools to analyse, plan and undertake effective leadership. There is an emphasis on the risks associated with operating a business and mitigating these risks. You will develop your awareness of the strategic decisions required in an international context and learn how to use tools and techniques associated with managing the finances of an organisation.
Stage 3
The Capstone module is designed to provide you with an opportunity to integrate master’s level knowledge and skills by independently working on an applied academic study or business consultancy project from a degree related discipline. Personal and professional skills such as research, oral presentation and teamwork will be developed.
