/01The Programme

Most finance programmes teach you about markets. This one puts you in them.

From your very first term, you're trading real money on real global markets. Not a simulation. Not a paper portfolio. Real capital — $100,000 — that you pitch for, manage and grow week by week.

By the time you graduate, you'll have visited trading floors at GIC in Singapore, hedge funds in Mayfair London, and the NYSE in New York. You'll have built your own investment track record, launched a finance media platform, and written a compliance playbook that covers five of the world's biggest regulators.
