4.911 ratings at Coursera

Overview

This course focuses on evaluating financial uncertainty across credit exposure, trading activities, funding stability, and interest rate movements using advanced quantitative methods and real-world case analysis. Learners explore loss measurement techniques, tail event modeling, governance breakdowns, and balance sheet resilience within complex financial institutions.

The program is designed for professionals and graduates seeking strong analytical capabilities in risk evaluation and decision-making. Through structured modules, participants examine exposure measurement, extreme market behavior, misconduct scenarios, funding instruments, currency dynamics, and asset–liability coordination to understand how risks interact across an institution.

A strong practical orientation distinguishes this course, connecting analytical frameworks with historical market disruptions, policy responses, and institutional case studies. By the end, learners develop the ability to interpret models critically, question assumptions, and support informed financial risk decisions in global markets.
