Teaching is delivered in weekly seminars over 10 weeks across Michaelmas Term. Pre-recorded weekly lectures will introduce students to the core materials and readings for each topic.? Seminars will contain a variety of concept-focused content, practical exercises, and case analyses. This year, some or all of the seminar teaching may be delivered using virtual sessions as an alternative to face-to-face teaching due to social-distancing or other pandemic-related restrictions that may need to be observed. There will be no teaching during reading week (Week 6).
Students will submit one 1,000-word essay in week 5 on which they will receive written feedback.

The Routledge Companion to Strategic Risk Management (Routledge Companions in Business, Management and Accounting). Power (2016). Riskwork: Essays on the Organizational Life of Risk Management.
