The Executive Programme, launched by the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) and University Canada West (UCW), is set to commence on September 27, 2021.
The launch of this exclusive programme is a first step in the collaborative efforts for mutual development of the two organisations.
The curriculum of the programme includes developing business analytics and risk management skills, learning about analytics modelling, including finance and risk management, developing a global perspective through understanding foreign transaction risks, sovereign risks and calculating market risk exposure along with evaluating optimal risky portfolios and bonds.
The programme is targeted towards individuals who are currently involved in the financial industry. The three key modules of the programme are investment analysis and management,
global financial institutions management and business analytics. Participants of the programme are encouraged to continue into the MBA programme offered at UCW upon meeting the admissions requirements.
The programme will be conducted virtually and allow participants from across the island to join an educational experience of international standard. The modules are a blend of live lectures and asynchronous study model, where students would experience a modern form of self-studying virtually. The participants who successfully complete the programme would receive a certificate of achievement.
The Executive Programme will be led by a distinguished panel of lecturers from UCW, who are well-experienced in the industry and are equipped to offer exclusive insight into the modules. Urvish Pankajkumar Subodh will be leading the module on business analytics, Dr. Pooja Lekhi will be leading the module on global financial institutions management and Dr. Michele Vincenti, Chair of the Leadership and People Management Department in the MBA programme at UCW, will be leading the module on investment analysis and management.
