ICMA Centre

The ICMA Centre is unique and has an international reputation for being the premier institution for undergraduate, postgraduate and executive education tailored to the capital markets industry.  The ICMA Centre’s success is based not only on the integration of applied finance theory and industry specific training but also its considerable professional and academic expertise, and strong links with companies and trade associations in the global finance industry.

The Centre was established in 1991 with funding provided by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) in Zurich. The state-of-the-art facilities include two dealing rooms running Reuters, Bloomberg and Datastream products, where students learn how markets really function and apply theory through simulations. The Centre will shortly be celebrating the opening of its new extended facilities including a flagship 50-seat dealing room – sponsored in part by Thomson Reuters.
