Department Features
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.

Diploma Policy
[Abilities that students of the Department of Risk Science in Finance and Management should acquire by graduation](1) Possesses foundational knowledge of risks in the four key areas: finance, information, production, and daily life.(2) Has acquired risk management techniques to mitigate risks in both corporate activities and daily life.(3) Develops the ability to identify problems in risk management, find solutions from various fields, and derive effective solutions, along with the communication skills needed to implement them. -
Curriculum Policy
To achieve the diploma policy, the Department of Risk Science in Finance and Management establishes the following four curriculum guidelines.(1) Provide courses that offer foundational knowledge in mathematical engineering methods, including probability, statistics, and optimization techniques, information system technologies, reliability and safety analysis in management engineering, and foundational knowledge of risks in the four areas: finance, information, production, and daily life.(2) Offer courses that provide risk management methods from a social science perspective, addressing the four areas of finance, information, production, and daily life.(3) Provide practical education through exercises and experiments to develop the ability to identify problems in risk management, analyze and assess their impact, and understand the countermeasures and ripple effects, thereby offering opportunities for active learning.
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.
