Regulation can have a significant impact on the way organizations function, which is why decision makers must have a sound understanding of the evolving regulatory environment and the role it plays in their industries.

The Regulation Strategy online certificate course from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is designed to provide regulators and those in regulated industries with a firm grounding in the key features and processes of regulatory strategy. It offers the tools to help you think critically about how regulation should be designed and evaluated.

With this LSE online certificate course, you’ll learn to identify risks affecting regulatory compliance and explore how to perform risk management. Over eight weeks, you’ll consider law and policy regulation from a practical and multidisciplinary perspective, drawing on expertise from LSE Law School. This course uses cross-sectoral and cross-national examples, giving learners from various backgrounds the opportunity to gain highly transferable skills and remain up to date in an increasingly dynamic field.

This course is of value to business professionals impacted by regulation, whether in risk, legal, or compliance departments. Business leaders at the helm of companies subject to significant law and policy regulations will also benefit from the course.

If you’re an entrepreneur beginning a new venture or a consultant with a client portfolio subject to regulation, the course will provide you with a firm foundation for managing a regulatory strategy.

The course is also relevant if you’re an employee working within a regulatory organization who wants to validate or enhance your skill set. If you’re a public policy professional in a non-governmental or non-profit organization, a government employee, or if you’re working in a regulatory agency in a government department tasked with risk management, you’ll find this course invaluable.
