The Master of Financial Risk Management (M.F.R.M.) is a 2 session, professional degree program offered over 8 months.  Financial risk management is concerned with the way in which financial institutions manage risks and regulatory requirements and it is an emerging academic discipline as a subfield of finance.  Students in this program acquire advanced analytical skills and judgement to enable better management of risk and opportunity in the finance sector. The program is geared to students with strong quantitative skills who have recently completed their undergraduate studies in business, commerce, economics, math, engineering or actuarial science.  The program consists of ten required half courses (5.0 FCEs) and a 1 week experiential component held during each of the two sessions.  During the 2 weeks students will interact with and learn from practitioners working in different areas of risk management at institutions such as banks, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds and government regulatory bodies.
