The Institute of Bankers in Ireland (the Institute) is the largest professional institute in Ireland with 40 corporate members and over 33,000 individual members working in banking and international fi nancial services. The Institute is a centre of excellence in the provision of education in the theory and practice of banking and chosen fi nancial services. The Institute provides the largest Continuing Professional Development (CPD) management system in Ireland, with over 20,000 registered members. Founded in 1898, the Institute is one of the oldest banking institutes in the world.

The Institute is a recognised college of University College Dublin (UCD). All educational programmes are offered through the Institute’s School of Professional Finance, and members who successfully complete a School of Professional Finance programme receive their academic award from UCD.

The Institute was the fi rst professional body to have all its academic awards included in the 10 stage National Framework of Qualifi cations. All its postgraduate programmes are included at Level 9 on this framework.

UCD is Ireland’s largest university and its degrees are recognised and respected worldwide. The UCD School of Business has a reputation as one of the world’s leading business schools given the quality and expertise of its Faculty.

What does the PRoGRaMMe coveR? The programme is designed to meet the need to increase the supply of well-qualified risk management professionals in Ireland. It covers a broad technical curriculum encompassing the conceptual and quantitative foundations of risk management, and engenders in students a critical understanding of the challenges facing senior management.

By combining the multitude of individual risks into a unified enterprise-wide perspective, the programme will enable students to think strategically to exploit, or minimise, risks in accordance with the firm’s competitive advantages and risk appetite. It therefore aims to develop risk professionals with a holistic perspective of the wider implications of risk and risk management.

Successful completion of this programme leads to an MSc in Risk Management from University College Dublin.

accRedited by PRMiaThe MSc in Risk Management is accredited by the Professional Risk Managers’ International Association (PRMIA). Its Professional Risk Manager (PRM) designation provides a global standard for the world’s top financial risk professionals. This means that students taking the MSc in Risk Management will have completed modules closely aligned with the PRM exam syllabus, hence they will receive exemptions from PRM Exams I and II, which form the majority of the PRM Certification Programme.

Who Would benefit Most fRoM it?The programme is designed to develop individuals working in or advising in banks and financial institutions, who are actively involved in risk-management or related areas (e.g. compliance). It is also suitable for those who would like to develop a career in risk-management.

Graduates from this programme are currently employed in banking, the Central Bank of Ireland, consultancy, asset-management, investment banking, insurance, financial technology, trading, and the National Treasury Management Agency.
