The Centre for Market Regulations and Governance (CMRG) Advantage

The CMRG integration gives you a rare interdisciplinary edge — learning regulation through both legal and economic lenses. Whether it’s AI law, ESG, or financial regulation, you work on contemporary issues with real-world impact. You gain policy exposure, interact with regulators, and open pathways to careers in compliance, think tanks, policy advisory, and beyond.
