Risk Analytics Stream

With the rise of big data, practices in the risk management industry have been revolutionised by instantaneous access to voluminous information. Advanced knowledge of data science and data analytics subjects such as statistical learning and data mining is increasingly important. In response to demand for talents in both risk management and data analytics, the Risk Analytics Stream is offered to elite students in the programme.
