The Quantitative Risk specialisation focuses on contemporary developments in risk management for financial institutions such as banks and insurers. It adds value by enhancing students’ knowledge in the intricate, mathematically complex aspects of financial and insurance risk modelling. At the same time, the program challenges them to think about the implications and ramifications of financial decisions on the organisation as a whole and even the wider society.

It also exposes students to risk analysis and management approaches in other disciplines, offering them the opportunity to explore avenues by which such approaches can be adopted to their traditional field of interest. The management of financial and insurance risks is seen as one of the many risks an organisation faces, which are closely interrelated.

The specialisation is well suited to business graduates and professionals with a strong quantitative finance and/ or actuarial background, who are aspiring to progress their career as a risk manager in the fields of investment, banking or insurance.
