“The simulation exposed us to the pressure of making decisions and thinking about the effects of different decisions on a bank. This was great because this was our first experience like this and it helped us to incorporate the knowledge of our studies in a practical manor. ”

Marcus Deutschländer | Bcom Economics and Risk Management

“Being put into a position to make all of these important decisions for the first time really gave me a practical feel about how much pressure there is in the real world in terms of decisions which have to be made.”

George de Bruyn | BHons Economics with Investment and Risk Management

“Students loved how the simulations mirror real-world scenarios. They realised how different risks are interrelated and can affect the whole bank performance. They liked the pressure of making fast decisions and realised the importance of teamwork and making collective decisions. They felt like the simulation incorporates all internal risks and macro-economic factors (which they tend to forget about) in order to make informed decisions. The feedback was also that it was fun to see where they ranked in terms of competitors.”

Dr. Sune Ferreira-Schenk | Programme leader

“It is a wonderful opportunity to 'marry' theoretical concepts with a simulation program so close to the real banking environment. It gives the students the opportunity to see how interconnected the various risk elements in the banking environment are. It further gives lecturers the ideal opportunity to show students the effects of changes to the parameters - from subtle changes to shocks and how to counter such negative outcomes, or how to pro-actively adjust strategies to remain within the Basel requirements”
