The applied finance programme follows the launch of its master in finance degree earlier this year focusing on behavioral finance and how human action can impact and influence.

The four-day programme, which targets investment managers from long-only institutions, market-neutral investors and executives working in short-term investment houses, will cover three key topics including strategic asset management, stock selection techniques, and arbitrage investing.
