Risk Management

Overview

Learning will be enhanced through simulations and real-life examples, offering you the ability to practically apply various risk management tools and techniques. This hands-on experience culminates in a final business project, which offers the opportunity to undertake a company internship, typically lasting between 8 and 12 weeks (subject to competitive application, availability and meeting visa requirements, plus additional fees may apply).

Alongside these opportunities for practical experience, the Risk Management course at Coventry University benefits from experienced academic staff with substantial risk management research and industry experience, covering the petroleum sector, large scale engineering projects, and public sector governance (please note staff are subject to change). Renowned industry experts are also involved in the delivery of course content through guest lectures, which provide industry perspectives and key employability skills (subject to availability).
