Studying the MANCOSA PGDip Risk Management
The diploma runs as four core modules a semester, and most of the assessment is applied: case studies, a set article to analyse, and questions that ask you to use a framework on the facts given. Three of the four semester-one modules share the same prescribed text (Hopkin, Fundamentals of Risk Management), so the material is built to be read across modules, not in isolation.
Our model answers show what a full-mark MANCOSA response looks like, referenced in the MANCOSA Harvard style. They are for studying from. Your own submission must be your own work.
