Master of Business Administration Risk Management and Investment

The University of Hertfordshire's Master of Business Administration (Risk Management and Investment) is structured to develop students' understanding of financial management. It integrates theoretical concepts with practical application, providing a comprehensive overview of the finance function and the responsibilities of financial managers, particularly in making informed decisions concerning financing, investment, and risk management.

Throughout the course, students will learn how to foresee risks in business, effectively tame business crises, and successfully safeguard resources through investment. The course teaches students how to look at a company's place in the market, and helps them develop the ability to think flexibly, make good decisions, and manage things responsibly. 

Students learn through lectures, examining real-life business situations (case studies), and working on projects that give practical experience. To check students' understanding of the course, they complete written assignments, give presentations, and work on group projects.

The University of Hertfordshire has a unique claim to fame: it was the first university in the UK to own its bus company, Uno, which was created to serve students but has since expanded to provide public transport across the region. It has also contributed to Hollywood productions, with its motion capture technology playing a role in blockbuster films.
