The BSc International Securities, Investment and Banking degree is an innovative programme, which is popular worldwide with those wanting to fly high in the capital markets industry. This three-year honours degree programme provides students with a thorough preparation for a career in the financial markets through a combination of academic rigour and practical skill-building. In the first year, participants study the core subjects of economics, accounting and finance. By the end of the second year, they will have covered the theory of finance and undertaken practical market making and hedging in the dealing rooms. The third year then allows further specialisation in fields such as portfolio management, debt markets and instruments, and risk management. Graduates of the course continue to be highly sought after by international securities houses, including Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch.
Established in 1991 with funding provided by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) in Zurich, the Centre is housed in a purpose-built modernist building with state-of-the-art facilities including two dealing rooms using software similar to those found in major investment banks. Due to the fantastic success of the Centre and growing demand for their programmes from a worldwide audience ICMA are investing a further £5million expansion to the building which will include an additional 50 seat dealing room, 150 seat lecture theatre as well as new seminar rooms and dedicated research area.
