Regulation, compliance and risk management have quite rightly received intense scrutiny and interest in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Today, businesses and regulators face growing pressure to address national and international regulatory demands. They are therefore paying unprecedented attention to the quality of the staff in these areas.

The financial services sector consequently has a strong need for professionals who grasp the key challenges in governing and managing risks face by financial institutions. This programme addresses this need for qualified and experienced staff. The programme covers a wide range of European, US and international regulatory matters. The regulation and compliance courses within this programme can be combined with both quantitative and non-quantitative courses.

The focus is on honing your decision-making skills in respect of risk and regulatory issues as well as on improving analytical skills and technical expertise. These objectives are achieved through a combination of rigorous academic engagement and working with practical case studies both individually and in groups.

The degree prepares you for a role as a practitioner, auditor, consultant or regulator in the financial services sector. This programme is ideal for those with experience of working within a financial services environment who wish to enhance their careers through building their risk, regulatory and compliance skills in a challenging and pragmatic University setting. We also welcome applications from university graduates from a wide range of disciplines.
