Reading Roars!

The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) is to make a GB£ 5m donation in what will represent overall the biggest single corporate investment in any business school in Europe. This institution is not the London Business School, nor the Said Business School in Oxford. The recipient of this considerable contribution is Reading’s own Business School for Financial Markets, otherwise known as the ICMA Centre (and formerly known as the ISMA Centre - !).

More than 300 smart and savvy students are studying for professional quals at ICMA related to the securities industry, and research at the centre covers areas such as fund management, risk management and quantitative finance. In fact, the Business School has the same research ranking as Cambridge, LSE and Oxford. How about that!

ICMA’s donation will finance a three-year building project, with expanded teaching facilities to be made available to students in 2008.

So to all readers wishing to embark on a high-flying City career: you can bank on first-class training at Reading University!
