The MSc in Financial Risk and Investment Analysis is a recognised Academic Partner of the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP), a leading international organisation for the promotion of risk management. The MSc has been designed to cover 70% of the material required to obtain GARP’s professional FRM (Financial Risk Manager) certification.
Graduates are therefore well prepared to pass the FRM exams, or to pursue GARP’s ERP (Energy Risk Professional) certification. As an Academic Partner, Sussex can provide additional support and information for students wishing to obtain an FRM or ERP certification. Research fellowships are also occasionally available through GARP.
“We welcome the University of Sussex to the GARP Partnership for Risk Education. Their MSc in Financial Risk and Investment Analysis (FRIA) is a highly innovative and selective program with a rigorous curriculum. Upon completing the program’s body of knowledge, its students will be very well-positioned to pursue the FRM designation and for the global risk management profession in general."
