The course is very good, some top quality lecturers, the trading sessions are good fun, good course banter and an active investment club which keeps you up to date with relevant issuesDownside is the administrative side, they are all over the shop.Many people have acquired employemnt with, to name a few, BarCap, BGI, ABN, RBC CM, SocGen, ING, DrKWIf you want to know any more, PM me.

No real word limit. You choose any topic you want. Has to be empirical and test new data or use new methodology in an area.
