Bloomberg at Aston

Today's economy is rapidly changing and for students looking to get a competitive edge it is vital that they can demonstrate their ability to analyse real time data. Here at Aston we believe the best way to prepare students for the real world is to immerse students through practical examples.

Having access to Bloomberg trading terminals provides students with a simulation of what it is like to work in the financial industry and gain experience of a real life trading floor environment. This immersive experience exposes students to markets using real time data, including industry-leading data, research, news and analytics. For students, it gives them the opportunity to connect theory and practice, and experience what it is like to be on a real trading floor.

At Aston we continue to invest in facilities to enhance-student experience and employability.
