ApplyAcademic Overview
Compliance course (European Bologna ECTS). MSc Financial Crime and Compliance at IU International University of Applied Sciences: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. A Warsaw campus route is published separately from this online award. MSc Financial Crime and Compliance is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 180. Students move from The numbers a manager needs through The numbers a manager needs; Recognition and evidence; Controls; Reporting; Rules and the limit of the award; Capstone: finance file, and finish on Capstone: finance file. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result. Reading is financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in Financial Crime and Compliance Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The degree is awarded directly by IU International University of Applied Sciences, seated in Warsaw, Poland. Studies are conducted in full alignment with Polish and European academic standards.
