MN-3507 Risk Management in Banking

Academic Year 2023-24

Module Overview

Introduction

Banks are subject to various risks due to the roles they play as intermediaries, the business models they adopt, and the rapidly changing environment. The risks banks face as intermediaries are primarily credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest risk. Additionally, banks are exposed to operational risk and country risk. This module examines the sources of these risks and the methods that banks can employ to evaluate and control them. Furthermore, the module covers the latest innovations in banking and the main reasons that led to the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008.

A core textbook is only a starting point and provides introductory and background information only. Supplemental reading will be identified at each lecture. To achieve high marks in this module students will need to do background and supplemental reading as well as conduct their own independent research, for instance through the reading of academic journals, into the topics identified.

Assessment

The assessment for the module is structured as follows:

· 70% Open Book Examination taken online – students will have a 2 hour window in which to complete the exam.

Example questions will be worked through in the final seminar session of the module.

The format of the exam will be 4 numerical questions of which students will be asked to answer all of them worth 60 marks, as well as three essay type questions of which students will be asked to answer two worth 20 marks each.

Submission in Welsh

Any written work submitted as part of any assessment or examination may be submitted in Welsh, and that work submitted in Welsh will be treated no less favourably than written work submitted by you in English as part of an assessment or examination.

Canvas – Digital Learning Platform

To ensure that students have everything they need to get the most out of Canvas, the University has produced a comprehensive guide called “Passport to Canvas”, which can be accessed via this Passport to Canvas link.

“Passport to Canvas” will always be available to students, meaning that they can go through the material in one go, or dip in and out of it as required. Students can access the platform. via this Canvas Platform. link or from within the university apps and the MyUni webpages.

Canvas Support is available 24/7 365 days a year in the following ways: 

· Canvas Support Hotline

· Canvas Chat

· Report a problem

Students can also access these avenues of support via the Canvas Help icon in the navigation menu on the Canvas Platform.  The Canvas Student Guides and Canvas Online Community may also be helpful.

Note on Terminology

For the purpose of all information, regulations and policies associated with Swansea University, we use the terms ‘Module’ and ‘Programme’ when making reference to students’ studies.  Modules are discrete educational components of a programme which, when considered collectively, make up the required credit for students to complete each level of a programme.

However, in Canvas, your Digital Learning Platform, the term ‘Modules’ has a different meaning - it is used to describe where all of the learning resources are stored.  For this reason, students will see the term ‘Course’ used in Canvas instead, but it means the same as Module (above). 

The coursework assignment for this module is an individual assignment worth 30% of the overall module mark.
