Whether for private companies or public policy design, effective risk analysis requires expertise in the critical factors now driving global change, including technology, climate, politics, regulatory uncertainty, migration, pandemics, and extremism.
Based at the SAIS Europe campus in Bologna, Italy, students in the Master of Arts in Global Risk (MAGR) program develop sophisticated risk management and analysis skills through a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach. The 13-month, full-time, cohort-based MAGR combines intellectual tools from economics, finance, political science, history, and international relations to create qualified professionals who understand the drivers of instability that characterizes the past decade in world affairs.
The MAGR degree provides students with the skills, concepts, and analytical techniques required to understand and manage global risk factors in public policy and private-sector decision-making. Graduates are currently employed in the private sector in finance, manufacturing, energy, and consulting roles, and working for multilateral and governments.
The Johns Hopkins University ("JHU") operates programs in multiple approved locations in the United States, and a few programs in approved locations outside of the United States. Among the programs located outside of the United States is the Bologna campus of JHU's United States-based School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). The Bologna campus was established in 1955 as part of JHU and as an extension of SAIS, it is usually referred to as "SAIS Europe." All degrees awarded by any of The Johns Hopkins University Schools (including SAIS) are Johns Hopkins University degrees. No distinction is made between degrees offered in the United States or outside of the USA.
As a U.S.-based and accredited institution, JHU cannot guarantee approval of degrees for employment or other purposes by entities or governments outside of the United States. However, the university will work with students to provide relevant documentation in order to facilitate approval processes.
