理学硕士课程的目的是为学生提供知识，理解和关键技能，使他们能够成为世界任何国家金融机构，尤其是银行的有效管理人员。最近发生的事件表明，成功的银行管理对西方经济至关重要。银行学是一个行业，而不是一门学科，对银行管理的研究是多学科的。该计划的方法是考虑银行的结构，财务以及风险和资产管理职能。在英国，虽然有许多涉及银行业的硕士学位，但绝大多数提供了有关银行实际工作的描述性材料。爱丁堡大师赛与大多数大师赛的不同之处在于，它主要强调银行管理人员应做出哪些决定以及如何做出决定。该课程是通过提出以下问题来设计的：“风险
The aim of the MSc in Banking and Risk is to give students the knowledge, understanding and key skills that will enable them to be effective Managers in financial institutions, especially banks, in any country in the world. Recent events demonstrate that the successful management of banks is of crucial importance to western economies. Banking is an industry rather than an academic discipline and the study of the management of banks is multidisciplinary. The approach of this programme is to consider the structural, financial and risk and asset management functions of banks. Whilst there are many masters degrees involving banking offered in the UK, the vast majority provide descriptive material about what banks actually do. The Edinburgh Masters differs from the majority in that it has a major emphasis on what decisions Managers in banks should make and how to make them. The course has been designed by asking the question ‘what skills do Managers in risk functions need to be technically excellent at their job.' This approach is unique and has shaped the content of modules and the structure of the programme. The MSc in Banking and Risk utilises knowledge and skills gained through the research carried out by members of the Credit Research Centre (CRC) in the Business School. This is a leading international research centre that specialises in research into credit risk modelling. A strong academic base, passionate faculty and international cohort will ensure a rewarding student experience in our city-centre campus. The school has widespread industry links and students will have exposure to a range of guest speakers.
