The Course

This Summer’s course has been split into 3 parts:

1. Students will learn about the basics of financial markets, covering equities, bonds and the FX market. Students will be taught about what traders actually do, how they interact with sales, brokers and the rest of the investment bank.
2. Students will hear from a young trader who has recently joined the market, he will show them Bloomberg, talk them through his day to day role and most importantly give advice on applications, the interview process and the what to do to give yourself the best chance of getting a job at an investment bank.
3. And finally students be put in the hot seat and trade for themselves on a professional simulator used by investment banks across the globe. Students will trade the equity market for themselves – there’s a prize for who makes the most money and a wooden spoon for the biggest loser!
