MSc in Risk Management

Overview

The global financial crisis has clearly demonstrated the high relevance of risk management. There is great need to innovate risk management procedures, revise supervisory practices and improve the handling of systemic risk. Thus, the study of risk management has never been so relevant. Duisenberg school of finance recognizes the need for this change and therefore offers students a challenging curriculum to prepare them for handling future extreme circumstances. The MSc in Risk Management is taught using an integrative, highly analytical approach, one which combines an in-depth examination of real-world risk management problems with the underlying financial theory and methodological aspects (mathematics, stochastic processes, statistics) of risk management. Students will emerge from the MSc in Risk Management programme prepared to enter a career in a field where top expertise is scarce.
