The MFES Cohort 2.0 marks a significant step forward in RRU’s endeavour to build a specialised professional ecosystem equipped with the knowledge, investigative capabilities and security-oriented understanding required to address the increasingly sophisticated nature of financial and economic crimes in an evolving digital and interconnected financial landscape.

The programme adopts a multidisciplinary and practice-oriented approach, integrating law, finance, investigation, regulation, emerging technologies and economic security through real-world case studies, analytical tools and expert-led learning. The hybrid learning model enables working professionals to balance advanced education with professional commitments while fostering meaningful engagement with experts and networks across law enforcement, regulatory agencies, financial institutions, corporate organisations and the wider RRU–IICA ecosystem.

Speaking about the programme, Prof. (Dr.) Bimal N. Patel, Vice Chancellor, Rashtriya Raksha University, remarked “Financial and economic security is no longer a specialised concern limited to financial institutions; it is increasingly integral to national security, economic resilience and public trust.” He further emphasised that MFES reflects RRU’s vision of connecting learning with purpose, by developing skilled practitioners who can understand emerging threats, respond with expertise and contribute to safeguarding financial integrity.

Mr. Gyaneshwar Kumar Singh, Director General and CEO, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, stated, “The Masters in Financial and Economic Security is a flagship collaboration between IICA and RRU, created to respond to the evolving challenges of financial and economic crimes. Through advanced analytical tools, legal expertise, investigative techniques and practical learning, the programme seeks to build future leaders equipped to safeguard economic integrity and contribute to a more secure and prosperous future.”

With the launch of MFES Cohort 2.0, RRU and IICA reaffirm their commitment to strengthening India’s pool of specialized workforce in financial and economic security and nurturing skilled practitioners who can anticipate emerging risks, respond effectively and contribute to a secure, resilient and transparent economic environment
