How Will I Learn?
Learning in the Elite Trader degree is conducted through a combination of supervised and independent study. Trading is a practical discipline that benefits from significant hands-on experience, but it cannot be mastered through theory alone.
Teaching involves a blend of theoretical instruction, live trading sessions, and psychological training. Our approach encourages critical thinking and fosters curiosity. By the time you reach the later stages of the program, you will manage more of the practical elements independently, particularly in relation to your individual trading projects. In the final stages, you will have the opportunity to work independently under the guidance of experienced traders to undertake research and apply advanced trading strategies.
Contact hours include:
- Lectures: These direct you towards the most important topics in trading and allow discussion and clarification of areas of uncertainty with expert staff.
- Tutorials: Staff are available to help with problem-solving exercises and strategy refinement.
- Live Trading Sessions: Practical trading situations and methods are encountered, providing real-world experience.
- Group Projects: These develop personal skills, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking, integrating and developing knowledge built up throughout the program.
Private study is essential to achieving the learning outcomes and is guided by both formative and summative coursework tasks set during the academic year. Your private study is also supported using an online learning environment, which provides access to module content, feedback, guidance on completing coursework, and audio-visual resources.
