Awarded to graduates who completed the Phase 3 in-region technical curriculum for the Front Office. Alongside markets, products, credit and derivatives, holders worked through financial analysis and valuation, financial modelling and programming and data analysis in Python.

 

The year combined conceptual grounding with applied work - building and interrogating models and using code to structure, analyse and test financial data. Individual graduates studied to different depths depending on their role and elective choices; this badge recognises capability across the curriculum as a whole rather than attendance at any fixed set of sessions.
