Get a handle on the multi-faceted risks facing global businesses today, and help companies mitigate against, and respond to, them. As the world evolves and new risks emerge, organisations need to be able to identify, evaluate and tailor their strategies in response – and not just to financial risks but political and environmental ones, too.

Explore multi-faceted issues such as these, as you build your skills and knowledge and set yourself up for a career in risk management, either in a consultancy or large organisation.

Interdisciplinary focus: This is a subject that draws on expertise from across many different disciplines, from international management to diplomacy - which is why it’s co-taught with our Institute for Diplomacy and International Affairs. Examining everything from corporate political activity to corporate social responsibility, you’ll also learn to help companies navigate opportunities and challenges arising from changes in international economic governance, foreign policy and international politics.

Study in one of the world’s leading hubs: Based in the heart of the capital, this is an inspiring learning environment for anyone with a passion for international business. London is one of the world’s leading hubs for global business and trade, and is the ideal location for expanding your knowledge, expertise and networks. Many of the leading risk management companies and consultancies are based closed by, and you’ll learn from, and network with, those organisations as part of the course.

By the end of your master’s, you’ll be in a confident position for making your mark in risk management, whether you want to lead your own global business or support the risk strategies of an established company.
