The Graduate Certificate in Strategic Risk Management offered at ECU is a practical industry focused course, designed for middle-level and senior risk professionals and managers in both public and private sectors.

It is relevant to practitioners in government departments, commercial or other enterprises with substantial assets in personnel, property and information risk.

The course aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to formulate policies for the successful management when dealing with the diverse risk requirements of organisations.

It is designed to fill the gap in the risk management education landscape that the business and government sector is calling for. It is also the first course of its kind to be offered fully online.

Hailing from Russia, Ivan Salmin has completely changed the course of his career from being a professional ballet dancer to a clinical psychologist.

After starting in the Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) at ECU he knew he would be happy with his newly chosen career path.

“From the very beginning I realised that this was the right course for me... by the time I decided to also do my Masters, ECU had become my home and I felt comfortable there as a mature age student,” he says.

“The three years it took me to complete my masters became very important years for my professional maturity and development. I was also very grateful for being sent on many work placements through the school.”

After graduating, Ivan got the first job he applied for as a psychologist. He credits ECU with giving him the skills, knowledge and professionalism to work in his chosen field with confidence.
