PRMIA Awards Risk Management Accreditation to University College Dublin, Smurfit School of Business Program
PRMIA today announced that it has awarded Risk Management Accreditation to the MSc in Quantitative Finance Program at University College Dublin, Smurfit School of Business in Dublin.
The accreditation program is designed to identify and endorse university degree programs that prepare candidates for careers as professional risk managers. Students completing appropriate courses within accredited degree programs will be eligible for exemption from PRMIA's Professional Risk Manager (PRM) Exams I and II, which form a major part of the PRM certification program, the global standard for the world's top financial risk professionals. All students will still be required to pass Exams III and IV in the PRM program.
The MSc in Quantitative Finance is a balanced programme of finance and computational methods that gives students the knowledge and skills to develop quantitative security pricing models and trading strategies for managing portfolios of equity, fixed income and derivative securities and for managing corporate financial risk. The program will prepare students for a specialist career in the finance industry in functions like funds management, investment banking, financial engineering and corporate treasury management.
"We are delighted to have the MSc in Quantitative Finance at University College Dublin (UCD) accredited by PRMIA and that it is recognised as being sufficiently rigorous to gain exemption from PRM Exams I and II," says Professor John Cotter (UCD School of Business and Steering Committee Member of Dublin Chapter of PRMIA). "Our degree, which is a leading program in risk management, will continue to grow domestically and internationally as a result of the success in gaining accreditation. In addition, we see the development of executive education in the area of risk management through our PRMIA partnership as a vital step in the training of current and future risk managers. We expect both these developments will underpin the growing importance of risk management, and also the activities of the Dublin PRMIA chapter."
University College Dublin is also PRMIA's newest University Partner. In conjunction with its leading Academic Partners (including both University Partners and Academic Associates), PRMIA seeks to set the international standards for graduate level education in risk management and financial engineering, to offer training and development programs in finance and risk management worldwide, and to reinvest the proceeds of these activities into further educational efforts, scholarly research, and scholarships.
