Finance and Risk Management MSc

Since the banking crisis, risk managers have been increasingly sought after. Large companies rely on them to advise on appropriate risk-taking, identify and assess threats and decide how to avoid, reduce or transfer risks.

Our Finance and Risk Management MSc will develop your knowledge of risk management theory at a company, country and international level, and investigate contemporary debates and controversies in the subject. 

The industry placement or research year is a great way to gain valuable professional or academic experience and provides an opportunity for international students to study in the UK for two years instead of one. We offer a two-year international study visa route to support applications for this course.

This course is part of our Finance MSc programme. All students complete the same core finance modules, then from the end of the first semester you will be able to tailor the course to your individual career aspirations through the option to specialise in one of seven areas.

The other specialisms offered are:

* Finance and Accounting MSc 

* Finance and Banking MSc

* Finance and Data Analytics MSc

* Finance and Fintech MSc

* Finance and Investment MSc

* Economics and Finance MSc.

The University of Brighton is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) – an accreditation achieved by fewer than 6% of business schools globally.
