It will develop the capacity to establish policies and risk structures for business units, design and review of risk management processes, the development of risk response processes, including contingency programs and business continuity.

Our program is based on research and publications in the current field, and delivered by staff who understand the fundamental concerns of managers in the public and private sectors.

This program is offered full time and by distance education on our London and Glasgow campuses. You can start your studies either in September or January.
