Each Risk Analytics MSc student is required to complete a 60 credit project dissertation. It not only trains students' ability to apply the risk analytical tools to solve real-world problems, but also provides a chance to practice collaboration and communication skills and data visualisation skills. A student must find a potential supervisor and fill out a Risk Analytics MSc Project Approval Form by the end of Semester B. The supervisor and project must be approved by the Risk Analytics MSc Programme Director, and the process for this, which may involve an interview with the student, takes place as approval forms are submitted. A typical MSc project dissertation consists of about 30 pages, covering a specific research-level topic in Risk Analytics, usually requiring the student to apply risk management tools to measure, predict, or manage certain types of risks. An MSc project may also involve collaboration with a collaborator based in industry. An MSc project should help prepare a good student for PhD research and even allow an excellent student the possibility of doing some research.
