This is a Master of Business Administration with a risk management specialisation, designed for people who already work in or next to a risk function. Certifications such as the FRM or CRM show technical competence in measuring and modelling risk. This MBA adds the strategic finance, leadership and governance layer that senior risk roles ask for.

- A senior risk manager who has to present risk appetite and exposure to a board and a CFO.
- A compliance or internal audit professional moving into a formal risk leadership track.

Who it is for
What you can achieve
Career paths after the MBA in Risk Management
The usual route runs from risk manager to senior risk manager, head of risk, and then deputy CRO or CRO. This MBA's finance, leadership and governance content is aimed at the board-facing side of those roles.
A second route comes from adjacent fields, as compliance, audit or treasury professionals move into risk leadership; the enterprise risk, regulatory compliance and risk culture modules cover that ground. A third route is specialist leadership in operational risk, ESG or climate risk, and risk and governance consulting.
Your results depend on your experience and the roles you target.

If you do not yet hold a bachelor's degree, you can apply with a Level 7 certification and 5 or more years of related experience in risk management, compliance, audit, financial services, insurance or related management roles.
