Training:Our specialised BSc (Econ) in Applied Finance programme combines the academic rigour of Queen Mary University of London's academic excellence with the achievement of industry-recognised professional qualifications and work experience within partner organisations.
Designed to build diversity in the financial profession, this programme will support you to develop the skills necessary to become a highly competent professional who excels in the financial sector.
With a specially designed curriculum, the programme will take a block teaching approach which is strongly supported with online independent learning activities and workplace learning. In particular, the block-teaching approach for the on-campus teaching enables apprentices to have uninterrupted periods on the trading floor outside of the on-campus periods, which is essential for their understanding of how financial markets operate.
Apprentices will develop deep understanding of:
The structure of the Financial Services industry and in particular the role their part of the sector and organisation plays; the purpose of the function in which they work and how their function relates to the wider business
The relevant Financial Services legal and regulatory framework and ethics, and the purpose behind them
The relevant Financial Services products and services and a broad understanding of the organisation’s policies and procedures
Proficiency in relevant IT skills, and organisation and Financial Services specific software/systems, as required to deliver the role outcomes
The programme follows a block-teaching approach for the on-campus teaching, as this enables apprentices to have uninterrupted periods on the trading floor outside of these periods, which is essential for their understanding of how financial markets operate.
The intensive on-campus sprints are designed to provide in depth coverage of the academic knowledge and skills required, which apprentices will then apply in the workplace between sprints. In this period, learning and teaching will continue through online material and assessments (formative and summative) to keep apprentices engaged with their studies and enable them to learn at their own pace.
The work-based modules enhance these elements by providing important opportunities for students to engage in structured learning activities in the workplace, which will build workplace specific knowledge and skills, develop professional behaviours, and facilitate the implementation of the academic and technical capabilities developed as part of the apprenticeship programme.Training Outcome:
Upon successful completion of the Apprenticeship, candidates will have the opportunity to apply for a full-time Analyst position with CIBC
