What you'll study

This course aims to offer hands-on experience in the art of trading. This practical dimension is underpinned by a solid grounding in the behaviour of global financial markets, the principles of equity trading and evaluation, bond trading and financial derivatives, stock markets in emerging economies, and proprietary trading. This course can be carried out over one academic year (full-time), or over two academic years (part-time).

Your main study themes are:

  • Change
    The recent financial crisis has led to fundamental economic, social, technological and geo-political changes, and the emergence of new and different realities in the markets. To respond effectively, traders, managers and leaders must develop very different patterns of thinking and behaviour.
  • Decision support
    Successful trading depends on making the right decisions at the right time – which depends, in turn, on being able to access and analyse the right information.
  • Managing risk
    Risk and reward are two sides of the same coin. Therefore, to achieve rewards, you must identify, assess, model and mitigate risk – and you must also master the various tools, including technology, which will help you.
  • Ethics
    The crisis has also led to greater ethical scrutiny of trading in order to avoid a repeat of the morally dubious/illegal conduct which came to light; for example, trading sub-prime mortgages bundled into securities; trading financial instruments too complex to understand; and banks rigging interest rates in their favour.

Assessment

Your performance will be assessed continually throughout the course. This helps to ensure that both you and your tutors understand your particular talents while recognising where you might need extra support. Besides sitting exams, you’ll experience highly applied and practical assessments which reflect the kind of work which goes on in the workplace. You’ll have opportunities to work on software simulations, consultancy projects, group projects and debates, presentations, business reports and even work experience placements2. Assessments will include the use of Bloomberg terminals, Python, R and its many data analysis libraries and integration interfaces.

Where our graduates work

Previous graduates have gone on to work at CitiBank, IBM, in investment management, trading houses, or have gone on to study for a PhD in financial computing.

I applied for this course because I wanted to have a worldwide perspective on the financial sector. Over the last 1.5 years, I've learned more about myself and focused down my areas of interest. I worked two separate internships during the internship term in order to figure out what was right for me and what wasn't. This helped me prepare for the job opportunities I'm currently pursuing.
