About the course
Unpredictability clouds the horizon and rarely has risk been more pronounced. Health pandemics are sending shockwaves through societies foundations. Cyber threats silently infiltrate information technology systems. Climate change is creating resource scarcity and widening inequalities. Geopolitical tensions, populist forces, terrorism and escalating trade wars ripple the previously calm waters occupied by multinationals. Corporate reputations are precious but precarious and a single error on social media can unleash corporate crisis. The path to resilience is challenging and requires a new generation of skilled risk managers. Our industry recognised degree is double-accredited by the CII and the IRM. You will develop decision-making skills by applying state-of-the-art risk management frameworks and risk modelling software to analyse real world case studies in, crisis management and communication, cyber risk, insurance, business continuity management, strategic and project risk management. You will also develop real-life practical skills. Our paid placement in third year with an industry partner will differentiate you from other graduates. This is the only programme of its kind in the UK and leading companies employ risk graduates directly. Our graduates can enter any industry sector and work for, PWC, Marsh & McLennan, GlaxoSmithKline, Morgan Stanley, Scottish Power, Aviva, Turner & Townsend, Lloyds of London, Transport for London (TfL), Balfour Beatty, Network Rail, Local Authorities, Mott MacDonald, AON and the NHS.
