About the course

Modern businesses are confronted with challenges stemming from economic, political, ecological, and technological shifts, which may jeopardise their survival if not properly managed. Consequently, an increasing number of companies recognise the value of having skilled risk management professionals in their ranks.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) Advanced Business Risk Management online short course goes beyond fundamental concepts to equip you with the ability to recognise and evaluate organisational risks and create strategies and controls to mitigate them. The course delves into managing risks related to reputation, finance, investment, and behaviour and teaches you how to utilise insights to make informed decisions.

The course journey closely replicates the risk management process, resulting in a practical learning experience that allows you to apply theory and best practices to real-world case studies.

Individuals who aim to enhance their career in business risk management can benefit from this course, particularly those who are already working professionals. This course is also suitable for experienced risk officers who wish to refresh their expertise and stay up to date with the latest developments in their field to maximise their job performance. Moreover, those with a background in business and management can gain the necessary skills and knowledge to transition into a risk-focused position. While no formal prerequisites are required for enrolment in this course, having financial literacy would be advantageous. Students who have completed the UCT Business Risk Management online short course or are presently working in the risk management field are recommended to enrol in this course.
