Department Features

Risk management has now become an essential challenge for modern businesses.

As society becomes increasingly complex, corporate management risks are rising year by year. It has become essential for business leaders to correctly assess risks, understand the potential losses they may cause, and effectively manage them. On the other hand, an overly cautious approach that is excessively focused on risks can sometimes hinder sound management. What is important is not merely avoiding risks, but correctly understanding and appropriately controlling them. In this department, we have designed an interdisciplinary curriculum focused on four key areas: finance, information, production, and daily life.

Curriculum Highlights

1st year

Understanding what risk is and learning the underlying economic mechanisms

To grasp the concept of 'risk,' it is essential to first understand the systems that drive society and the decision-making processes within businesses. By studying these fundamental aspects, students gain a deeper understanding of risk.
2nd year

Acquiring foundational knowledge across four fields

Building on the basic studies from the first year, students lay the groundwork for specialized learning. They gain an understanding of the social and technical mechanisms in four key areas—finance, information, production, and daily life—while exploring the risks inherent in each.
3rd year

Joining a research lab and learning specific methodologies

Starting in the third year, students join a research lab where they apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained. They engage in case studies across the four fields, aligned with their lab's research theme. Through activities such as creating manuals and developing guidelines, they acquire practical risk management techniques.
4th year

Engaging in graduation research to explore a chosen topic in depth

Students undertake graduation research as the culmination of their studies, focusing on a specific area of interest. They conduct case studies, analyze risk-related issues, and compile their findings into a graduation thesis. This process helps them develop presentation and writing skills, preparing them to apply their expertise in real-world settings.
