De Montfort University (DMU) continues to invest in facilities to enhance student experience and employability. The Trading Room gives students on some of our Economics and Accounting courses access to market data, analytics and information.
The Trading Room provides simulation of what it is like to work in the financial industry in roles such as trading, portfolio management, investment banking, corporate finance and financial or economic analysis. The dedicated Trading Room is located on the second floor of the purpose-built Hugh Aston building.

-
Company, industry, market and economic data
-
Employability skills, including access to both Bloomberg and Refinitiv/Eikon self-study certifications and their online training materials, on campus and online
-
Networking capabilities
