In this Master participants undertake an academic year of study in which they learn the theory, techniques and practical working tools necessary for decision-making in the field of Enterprise Risk Management. The design of the  programme allows participants to acquire a solid grounding in the fundamentals of business finance and of capital markets, and at the same time to deepen their knowledge of the workings of enterprise risk management from a corporate viewpoint.

At the present time, all businesses carry an element of risk. The risks which derive from macroeconomic, financial, geostrategic and geopolitical considerations take on special relevance in today’s interconnected and unpredictable business environment. The threats arising from internal company factors such as court actions, data protection, asset and property protection, employee actions, together with those deriving from intense competition and the constant evolution of market regulation – all these factors make risk management a decisive strategic necessity for all types of corporations and institutions. Risk management has become a determining factor in the optimization of stakeholder return and the increase of corporate value.

Satisfactory risk management has become a determining factor in the optimization of stakeholder return and the increase of corporate value. The recent global economic and financial crisis has emphasized the importance of good risk management – ERM – not only in financial entities, but also in many other sectors, such as construction and public works, the automobile industry, energy and utilities. The figure of the “Chief Risk Officer” has become increasingly prominent and the lack of a pool of talent with these competencies means that postgraduates with specific training in enterprise risk management will be in great demand in the future.

The Master Enterprise Risk Management will give participants the skills and knowledge necessary to understand the full scope of risk management which organizations have to face. Participants will also learn how to create additional value for their companies by means of the proactive management of their key risks. In this day and age, corporations and organizations of all types have realized the strategic importance of establishing ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) policies and tactics, thus improving corporate activity by correctly identifying, quantifying and monitoring operational or transactional risks related to creating added value, and by putting in place measures to mitigate their effect.
