Available as a one year master's or a two year master's with professional practice. by distance learning or with a fast track option.

All decision-making entails uncertainties and the challenges posed by risk have never been more apparent. Adaption to this “new normal” is essential.

Consider:

  • Seismic ripples from health pandemics will reverberate throughout the foundations of society for years to come
  • Increasingly volatile climate-related events are unravelling organisational plans in the short and long term
  • Geopolitical tensions, populist forces, terrorism and escalating trade wars distort the once-calm waters of multinationals
  • Corporate reputations are precarious and a minor error on social media can induce crisis.

The path to risk resilience is as exciting as it is complex and requires a new generation of skilled risk managers to lead the way.
