Minor in Risk Analytics

The financial services industry is one of the most dynamic industries in the world. With the opening of markets, rapid economic development in Asia, deregulation and blurring of borders in financial services and products, the industry faces serious challenges including intensifying competition, increasing exposure to different types of risks and the integration of these risks. These issues affect both industry practitioners and regulators.

NBS offers a Minor in Risk Analytics which exposes students to a broader risk-related industry while integrating more modernise data analytic tools. Through this Minor programme, you can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of insurance coverage, industry issues and risk management techniques, and be equipped with vital risk management tools for application to a wide variety of real-world situations. The greater emphasis in financial risk management and data analytics will greatly enhance students’ marketability and have a much broader appeal to a wide variety of job opportunities.
