FinTrU Trading Room
Since 2017, FinTrU has generously sponsored our Trading Room. The FinTrU Trading Room, which replicates New York and London trading environments, provides students with access to 26 Bloomberg terminals, trading simulations and other financial software.
The FinTrU Trading Room is embedded into taught programmes allowing students to relate real world news and market activity to economic and financial theory. The facility is also vital for supporting extra-curricular activities such as the CFA Research Challenge and Queen’s Student Managed Fund.

The FinTrU Graduate Programme enables you to join with fellow graduates, where you will first learn about how FinTrU operates as a business in the world of financial services alongside professional soft skills training.
