A risk is an uncertainty or a potential threat to an organisation. It has the potential to materially affect the value and survival of a business. As a result, businesses must understand, evaluate, and manage risks in order to achieve their primary objectives while keeping all risks under reasonable control. The risk management programme at UTAR aims to provide students with a broad understanding of risk management for financial and non-financial corporations. The programme’s core curriculum includes analytical knowledge, operation management, legal framework and strategic planning. More importantly, the programme strikes a balance between the need to provide students with solid theoretical knowledge while also including some case studies that parallel to the current ever-changing business environment, as well as an emphasis on hands-on practical and risk analytical techniques.
