Two new MSc management courses announced

Tanaka Business School announces new MSc Management and MSc Risk Management and Financial Engineering Programmes.

In October 2005 Tanaka Business School is launching a new one year full-time MSc in Management. Unlike the MBA, this is a pre-experience qualification designed to equip recent graduates with a foundation in business knowledge and skills. It will give participants an edge in today’s competitive job market, especially when it comes to entering corporate and public sector management training schemes. Taught by top-flight academics, participants will benefit from Tanaka’s proven reputation in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, finance and economics. Uniquely, they will also have the opportunity to participate in their own business plan competition. (Tanaka students regularly come in the top 5 of the European Business Plan Competition.)

Launching in September 2005 is Tanaka's new 16 month part-time Msc in Risk Management and Financial Engineering. Developed with input from senior risk managers at major banks, bond credit rating agencies and financial regulators, this unique programme will equip participants with the increasingly technical skills required to compete in this fast expanding field. Benefiting from the expertise and experience of Tanaka's Finance Section, students will learn financial statistics, principles of risk management and valuation theory. They can then specialise in Risk Management (studying applied risk management) or Financial Engineering (studying numerical methods and computing).
Tanaka Finance Faculty regularly consult for such organisations as The Bank of England, Morgan Stanley and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
