 Pre-sessional training: Quantitative methods for finance

Additional training

Students will receive specialised training using the Bloomberg Trading Platform, based in our new and dedicated Bloomberg Trading Room, and MATLAB, a powerful, technical software programme used widely on trading floors and by researchers in the fields of Economics and Finance. The immediate aim of this training is to provide you with further tools to assist with your coursework and MSc dissertation.  However, it will also increase your employability because graduate recruiters attach significant value to expertise in using these tools.  The training component of your programme is not assessed and is offered on a first come, first served basis.
