Overview

 

Offered by the Mona School of Business in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science & Technology, The University of the West Indies. The MSc. ERM degree programme is designed to address the demand in the financial services and other industries for modern risk management skills. Risk professionals require a set of integrated skills in risk modelling and management of the risks associated with assets/liabilities of their business operations. The programme is designed to produce graduates with skills in risk techniques and practices who also understand the business contexts and thus are able to address complex risk issues. The programme will attract professionals seeking breadth in risk management. They will typically have backgrounds in a wide cross-section of industries such as the financial services (especially banking, insurance), consultancy, the non-financial sector as well as from the public sector. This is an important added value, which prepares the student for team work with members of diverse backgrounds.

The suite of courses will produce a cadre of unique, employable individuals, responsive to the contemporary risk management challenges facing enterprises in the world and in particular, the Caribbean Region.
