MBA Risk Management — Study from France

Wherever you are in France—Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, Toulouse, Nantes—your next career leap can start right where you live. The MBA Risk Management delivered online in exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College equips you to identify, assess, and transform uncertainty into opportunity. It’s an empowering, flexible path to advanced leadership that aligns with your ambitions and your life.

Guided by a rigorous academic framework and taught by seasoned practitioners, this programme blends strategic thinking with practical tools that you can apply across industries and borders. Its theory is internationally applicable, so you can confidently build a career that spans markets and sectors—without relocating and without pausing your life in France.

Awarded a British degree recognised internationally

Earn a British master’s degree that signals quality, credibility, and global perspective. The degree is awarded by the University of Cumbria, enabling you to present a qualification that is widely recognised by employers and institutions around the world—an asset whether you progress in France, move elsewhere in Europe, or pursue opportunities globally.

In risk management, reputation matters. A British degree communicates high standards in governance, compliance, and strategic leadership—competencies that boards, regulators, and stakeholders value. Your credential travels with you, opening doors across industries and continents.

Graduate in as little as 1 year, 100% online

Accelerate your progress without postponing your priorities. This MBA can be completed 100% online in as little as one year, enabling you to move quickly from learning to leadership while continuing your current role in France.

The focused structure and supportive learning environment help you build momentum, so you can confidently balance studies with work, family, and personal commitments—without compromising on academic depth or rigour.

No fixed login times—learn on your schedule

Your time is precious. This programme does not require online presence at specific times and dates. Instead, you can participate in discussions, watch lectures, and submit assessments at times that work for you—early morning in Paris, late evening in Nice, or during a weekend in the Alps.

This flexibility empowers you to integrate learning into your life, not the other way around. It’s higher education designed for real professionals with real responsibilities.

Study anywhere, even offline with our mobile app

Whether you’re commuting on the RER, traveling on the TGV, or flying from CDG to a client meeting, you can keep learning. You can study from anywhere in the world—even while on the move—through our mobile app, which allows you to download study materials and watch lectures offline.

Seamless access means uninterrupted progress. Your campus is wherever you are: a café in Bordeaux, a hotel in Geneva, a quiet corner at home. Your studies adapt to your rhythm.

Open-book assessments that reflect real decisions

We use open book assessments instead of classical question–answer exams. This approach mirrors the way risk professionals operate in the real world—synthesising information, using frameworks, consulting sources, and making sound judgments under uncertainty.

Open-book formats encourage deeper understanding, critical analysis, and structured problem-solving. You’ll build confidence in applying theory to practice—the very essence of effective risk leadership.

World-class faculty, world-class universities

Learn from tutors and faculty who graduated from world-renowned institutions, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their academic pedigree and industry experience bring you insights that are both cutting-edge and grounded.

Benefit from mentorship that challenges your thinking and elevates your standards. Your lecturers not only teach risk—they have lived it, led it, and transformed it in complex organisational environments.

A truly global cohort and network

Our programme has a diverse student base from over 130 countries, with alumnis working for international organisations like AXA, Citigroup, VISA, American Express, MasterCard, JPMorgan Chase, UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo, ICBC Standard Bank, Barclays, UBS, Crédit Agricole, Accor, Sanofi, EDF, Luis Vuiton, Renault, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony.

In class discussions and group projects, you’ll connect with peers who bring perspectives from finance, energy, tech, healthcare, luxury, transportation, and the public sector. This network becomes a lifelong asset—expanding your viewpoints and multiplying your opportunities across France and beyond.

Flexible payments that fit your budget

Invest in your future with predictable, manageable planning. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, helping you distribute costs over time while you continue to work and earn.

This approach gives you financial flexibility without delaying your goals. You can start now, pace your payments, and focus on mastering the skills that advance your career.

Build your risk leadership career in France

France is home to world-leading financial, insurance, and corporate groups headquartered in Paris and across the regions. From La Défense to Lyon Part-Dieu, organisations face growing demands in enterprise risk, compliance, cybersecurity, liquidity, operational resilience, and climate-related disclosures. This MBA strengthens your ability to design risk frameworks, engage stakeholders, and translate regulation into opportunity—capabilities sought by banks, insurers, payment providers, and regulators operating under EU and international standards.

France’s energy, infrastructure, and industrial sectors—from electricity and renewables to transportation, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing—are managing complex transitions: decarbonisation, digitalisation, and supply-chain resilience. With this MBA, you’ll learn to assess emerging risks, develop mitigation strategies, and lead transformation programmes that balance safety, sustainability, cost, and innovation—skills valued by major groups and their ecosystems of suppliers and partners.

In France’s globally admired luxury, hospitality, retail, and technology landscapes, brand reputation and customer trust are paramount. You’ll gain the tools to manage strategic, operational, and third-party risk; to protect intangible assets; and to lead responsibly across international markets. Whether you aspire to roles in risk analysis, governance, compliance, ESG, or strategic planning, this programme helps you bring clarity to complexity and credibility to the conversation—in French boardrooms and across global networks.
