This course begins with a 3-week zero credit module covering two professional certificates. Firstly you will protect the content for the CFA Institute Investment Foundations Certificate. It is recognized by employers in the finance industry and can be completed optionally externally at a fee. You will also be introduced to the Bloomberg Terminals and allowed to meet the free online exam 'Bloomberg Essentials.' Completing these professional certificates can help you stand out from employers.
Many of our students have gone on to work in central banks, companies, and governments or pursued careers in academia and education.
A postgraduate qualification from the University of Leicester is career-changing. It can be the springboard to promotion with your current employer, the platform from which to launch a new career, or simply an aid to becoming more effective in your current role.
If you are already employed, enhancing your career by studying at the postgraduate level signals to employers that you are committed to developing your skills and knowledge and have learned to a higher level.
