Course content
This programme focuses on three key pillars: venture capital; private markets; and FinTech start-ups. These three financial pillars are studied in combination; with comparisons and links drawn between them throughout the programme. The combination and contributions of these will allow you to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this financial field.
London is the global centre of venture capital, and as such, this programme will leverage the opportunity for you to receive first-hand access to industry experts. We employ industrial professors who will deliver teaching alongside academic staff and offer a bi-weekly Seminar Series, where a range of industry experts are invited to share their experience and insights to complement your programme. This programme will also make use of case studies to support the application of theory to real-life industry examples. Through this approach you will be able to identify opportunities and challenges in rapidly changing global markets.
