2 Introduction This handbook summarises the most important aspects of practice and procedure in the management of the department of Business and Management s Postgraduate taught courses, and is designed to provide you with: a clear outline of what you should expect in the management of your degree course; a clear indication of what is expected of you during your time in Business and Management; a convenient source of information about the mechanics of some of the more common administrative procedures used during a student s progress from admission to examination. Message from the Director of Postgraduate Studies It is my pleasure to welcome you to Sussex and to wish you an enjoyable and productive time during your studies at the University. You join Sussex at a period of significant growth and at a time when the University has increased its presence both nationally and internationally. Our programmes are delivered by world class academics and by a network of successful practitioners who provide valuable insights into the very real challenges faced by organisations in both the public and private sectors. Your studies at Sussex will be challenging but rewarding and will prepare you to become the next generation of business thinkers. I wish you every success and believe that you have made the right decision by coming to the University of Sussex. Dr Des Doran Director of Postgraduate Studies Message from the Course Convenor We are delighted that you have chosen to embark upon our new and exciting MSc in Financial Risk and Investment Analysis. Investment Management is a huge market and the recent financial crisis has shown that a thorough understanding of Financial Risk is essential for this profession. The trend for increased employment in risk management is set to continue as recent changes in banking regulations put increased focus on improving risk management standards. This degree combines core elements of the two subject areas to provide an edge for students seeking a career in the investment industry or students interested to move into investment-related risk management positions. We are more than happy to welcoming you on board. Dr Andreas Kaeck, Course Convenor 2

After the assessments in the Spring term, in both modules student will embark upon project work. Presentation of the projects as if to a client (Portfolio Management) and to an internal risk management team (Market and Credit Risk Analysis) is used to enhance presentation skills and prepare students for working in the industry. Both modules bear 30 credits overall whereof 15 credits are attributed to the project work. In addition, during spring term students also need to take further 15 credits from a range of optional modules. Syllabus Autumn Term The autumn term provides an introduction to the basic concepts of investment and risk management, including analytical methods and tools which are essential to study advanced concepts in quantitative investment analysis.

9 PG Assessment Criteria When grading all modes of assessment the marker will refer to the following generic criteria. More specific criteria may be provided for particular modules. Category Mark Check List Description High Distinction 80 + High level of reflective learning Advanced knowledge of subject area Critically reflects on established literature and theory Evidence of extensive or intensive and appropriate data collection and analysis Well researched, written and argued in a compelling manner Extensive research-level references New insights emerging from reading research or student s own experiences The work demonstrates a mastery of the subject that goes well beyond basic reading to critically explore alternative perspectives The argument presented is well developed, complete and coherent, and is written in a compelling manner Perhaps most importantly, an 80+ piece of work is characterised by a spark of creativity, or by new ideas and insights that emerge from the student s reading and experience Distinction High level of reflective learning Excellent knowledge of subject area Extensive and appropriate use of literature Evidence of extensive or intensive and appropriate data collection and analysis Well argued Arrives at innovative understanding Merit High level of reflective learning Good knowledge of subject area Uses a range of texts not just text books and including refereed journals Evidence of appropriate data collection and analysis Logically structured and argued Demonstrates learning from the project The work demonstrates excellent understanding of the subject that has been gained through a thorough critical analysis of themes and issues It draws effectively on the relevant literature and concepts to build a comprehensive and cohesive argument Work graded at 70 and above is characterised by persuasive reasoning backed up by appropriate illustrative examples The work demonstrates proficient understanding of the subject gained from working with key sources Major themes and debates in the extant literature are recognised and are at least referred to if not taken up completely throughout the project
10 Category Mark Check List Description Pass Achieves reflective learning Shows understanding of most of the issues relating to the subject Uses texts and some journals Evidence of appropriate data collection and analysis but these are at the most basic level The arguments developed in the project, the language used and the writing style are competent but are somewhat incomplete in places Marginal Fail There is a credible, if poor, attempt at all components of the project Achieves reflective learning but does not grasp any wider perspective of the subject Has read some texts but not really understood the concepts Investigation and analysis falls short of pass standard, but could be raised to this standard if the student applies sufficient time and effort to revise their work The arguments developed in the project, the language used and the writing style are not competent or incomplete Fail 0 39 Fails to achieve reflective learning A major problem in one or more significant areas: literature, methodology, language, etc. Lack of sufficient reading Fails to extend beyond concepts and readings already taught and examined elsewhere Poorly designed and superficial analysis Argument is incoherent and/or inconsistent The work demonstrates a basic competence in the subject It draws on some relevant literature, but provides only a limited critical analysis of this material Examples are used, but without a critical, analytical context The arguments presented have some gaps Work of this grade is characterised by sufficient coverage of the subject, but unsophisticated understanding and analysis The work demonstrates only a limited degree of competence in the subject It has some sense of academic debate and/or rational argument There is a tendency towards reportage rather than any form of interpretation Work of this grade is characterised by just acceptable comprehension in all elements, but the work could be improved to achieve a pass grade if the student puts in sufficient effort The work demonstrates a lack of understanding of the subject There are significant gaps in the interpretation of literature and relevant concepts, and the reasoning presented is flawed, inconsistent, contradictory, or incoherent Unacceptable work is characterised by incompleteness and inadequate comprehension 10
11 Transferring to a Different Course We hope that you will be happy with your initial choice of degree, but a small minority of students will wish to transfer to another degree. If your chosen new degree is offered by another school then it is less likely that you will be able to transfer. However, if you wish to choose an alternative degree from amongst those offered by the Business and Management Department, then this may be possible, but the change must be completed by 4 October If you wish to consider transferring to a new degree, please make an appointment with your Academic Advisor to discuss the options available, as soon as you can. Contact Details You should also keep in touch with your Academic Advisor, and contact the Student Life Centre for help with any personal issues you face. Your course convenor should be able to help you find an answer to any questions you have during your studies.
