The MSc in Finance and Risk Management programme has been designed for technically-minded candidates who want a deep, analytical study of risk management and finance and who intend to pursue a quantitative career in the financial services sector. The programme will develop a solid theoretical foundation and practical skills in finance and risk management as well as analytical skills in relation to financial institutions and markets, portfolio management, instruments, and other critical areas. "Following the financial crisis there is a growing demand for professionals who are skilled in financial risk management. Our MSc in Finance and Risk Management is designed to provide you with comprehensive knowledge of the latest challenges in financial markets and the necessary quantitative skills to measure and manage risk." Dr Nikos Tsorakidis Head of Business Administration & Economics Department The MSc in Business Analytics and Decision Sciences programme will provide a unique exposure to current business opportunities, challenges and developments in the area of Business Analytics, Big Data Management and Decision Sciences. The programme will equip students with the highly sought analytics skills and prepare them to solve challenging and complex business problems and make optimised decisions in the big data driven environment.
