MSc Business with Strategic Risk Management

Robert Gordon University

Course overview

This Master of Science (MSc) course is for managers who want to get better at handling risks and making sure their business keeps running even when things go wrong. You will learn how to spot, look at, and deal with different types of risks, like those tied to big plans, how a company is set up, the environment, and technology. This course is part of the larger MSc Business and Management range of studies.

You will also learn through a blend of lectures, smaller group talks, and hands-on workshops. These include working on projects with others, having discussions, doing practice runs, and giving presentations. Your learning will be checked with written assignments, a major research project (called a dissertation), and a spoken test. This way, you'll learn to use business ideas in real-life work situations.
