Finance and Data Analytics programmes named academic partners of CQF Institute
We are pleased to announce that our BSc Finance and Data Analytics and BSc Finance and Data Analytics with a Year in Industry programmes have been named academic partners of the CQF Institute, the world’s largest professional membership organisation for quantitative finance. The successful application process was led by Bethan Jones-Davies, Accreditation Manager, and Professor Chardin Wese, Director of Studies.
