Description
The Master Risk Management (MRM) is an international, full time, Master course organized by theDipartimento di Economia e Management, University of Pisa, in collaboration with some prominent Italian and international financial institutions, banks and pension funds. After two successful editions, the call for the 2016 edition is now open.
It is entirely taught in English and is meant to provide students with cutting edge theoretical and practical skills to manage the main sources of risk characterizing financial markets, insurance institutions, pension funds or business.
The novelty of the MRM is that it is inspired by an interdisciplinary approach.
This key feature is due to the evidence that globalization needs managers able to analyze risk under different points of view and suggest integrated solutions.
The graduates will be endowed with strong analytic tools and advanced methodologies for risk management, which will be taught by both prominent international academic faculty and managers from financial, insurance and business institutions.
Contents
After six months of front classes, in which both academic faculty and professional managers will alternate, in the second term the students must elaborate a project work, either as a research work or as a report on an internship-based activity of at least three months.
Such internship opportunity will be provided by the MRM, thanks to the partners participating to its Corporate Network, or by the students themselves.
All applicants benefit from the University of Pisa’s student policy and facilities.
Scholarships
The Master Risk Management offers an amount of about 10.000 euro for scholarships.
Moreover, a prize will be granted to the best student. Such a prize consists in a cash prize of 2.000 euro and in the possibility to be selected for a 3-month, internship in a UK-based company of the MRM Corporate Network.
Requirements
- A university degree.
- Reference letters.
- Proficiency in English both spoken and written (TOEFL/IELTS is recommended, but may be substituted with a test administered by the University of Pisa), if English is not your first language. In any case, the knowledge of English is verified as well during the motivational interview.
Career Prospects
The Master Risk Management graduates are suitable to join international business or financial institutions, pension funds and insurance companies as risk managers, both as internal auditors or as technical analysts.
Internships
Students can undertake an internship/stage in the period September-December and use this experience to develop the final Master Thesis.
Students interested in internships are encouraged to explore opportunities independently.
The MRM Staff promotes students by circulating CVs through its network of, mainly, companies located in Italy (such as among its Corporate Network).
