Introduction

Responsible Banking Advanced Courses

The Responsible Banking Educational Programmes are organized by three major international

players in the banking and academic sectors (the IEB, the World Savings Banks Institute and the

London School of Economics Executive Education).

The Executive Master in Responsible Banking (MRB) and the Responsible Finance Management

Programme (RFMP) seek to inspire bankers to implement the necessary cultural changes inside the

banking and financial industry to win back client trust and to gain a competitive advantage; as we

understand it, the future of banking will depend on organisations behaving with integrity, covering

environmental, social, economic and governance issues while respecting all stakeholders.

We offer the possibility of completing the Executive Master in Responsible Banking courses

(Advanced Courses) or the Responsible Finance Management Programme courses (Foundation

Courses) separately.

The Executive Master contains 7 courses; five courses for Module 1, one course for Module II

and one course for Module III as seen in the attached diagram. Each course lasts 6 weeks and on

completion, students obtain an Advanced Certificate in that Responsible Banking Course.

Methodology

Topics and case studies have been selected in order to offer students a fundamental understanding of

responsible finance applicable to different finance and banking professions. Each module has been developed

with the input from academics and leaders from the financial community.

Academic tutors accompany the students throughout the Programme’s modules and courses. The tutor’s

responsibility is to follow each student, introduce practical cases and answer questions through online

tutorials. Students receive detailed study documentation as well as numerous spreadsheets which are kept

on the virtual platform so that students can use them from whenever and wherever they study.
