Master of Science [M.Sc] Financial Risk Management
- The 15-month University of Connecticut, Master of Science in Financial Risk Management program emphasizes both rigorous theoretical and quantitative analysis, as well as practical and hands-on experience addressing real-world risk management problems (i.e. credit, interest rate, currency, and market risk in asset and wealth management, arbitrage strategies, restructuring and combinations, and alternative investments).
- Additionally, we are excited to offer a new full semester of three 3-credit courses for the incoming and current cohort.
- This semester will include two courses on advanced and quantitative applications in Financial Modelling and Financial Engineering and a comprehensive course on Enterprise Risk management (ERM). This change will extend our 15-month program to 19 months. The students choosing this option will graduate in May rather than in December.
