Frequently asked questions

Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about the programme and what it demands. For situations not covered here, our team is ready to respond—no generic replies, just real answers.

Who is the programme for and what backgrounds are expected?

You might assume this programme is only for those with a finance background, but that’s a myth. It’s aimed at professionals from any institutional context—risk managers, analysts, or those shifting from adjacent fields—who are ready to challenge old models and debate real market failures.

How much time should I set aside weekly?

Expect to spend 8–12 hours a week on case analysis, scenario reviews, and group debates. This isn’t a rote learning course—most time is spent critiquing, not memorizing. The part-time, online format is designed to fit alongside full-time work, but it’s rigorous.

Is the teaching style theoretical or practical?

No, the focus is on practical application, not textbook theory. Each session draws on historical events, peer critique, and live debate. Faculty expect you to argue, defend, and sometimes dismantle your assumptions in front of others.

What does assessment look like in practice?

Assessment is ongoing: you’ll complete scenario-based cases, submit critiques, and present a final project rooted in real events. Peer and faculty feedback is blunt and frequent. Distinction is reserved for the top 10% who challenge received wisdom and defend their reasoning under fire.

Is there alumni support or ongoing community after finishing?

Yes. Alumni stay active, continuing debates in dedicated forums and submitting new cases for critique. If you want passive networking, look elsewhere. This is a group that values honest feedback and shared lessons from real failures.

How does payment work and are there sponsorship options?

Programme fees are paid after admission and acceptance of your offer. Employers may sponsor part or all of your fees. See the brochure or speak to the team for details on payment options and timelines.

Is admission automatic if I meet the minimum requirements?

Not all applicants are admitted. The review team looks for evidence of analytical ability, openness to debate, and readiness for critical feedback. If more information is needed, the team will contact you before making a decision.
