Finance Students Given the Chance to Bloom
Students studying at Newcastle Business School at Northumbria University have been the first people in the North East to use an innovative new system used by professional financiers throughout the world. |
Bloomberg Financial Services Terminals are now available to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Newcastle Business School for use throughout their studies making Northumbria University the first University north of London to install such a system for their students, staff and clients.
Dr Satish Sharma, Senior Lecturer at Newcastle Business School and responsible for the terminals’ installation said “Bloomberg is a premier financial database used the world over by thousands of professionals within the financial services industry to help them make informed decisions about financial and business issues that they face on a day to day basis.
The Bloomberg terminals installed at Newcastle Business School not only give our students access to this information which enhances their learning but gives any student who is competent with the system a real competitive edge in the job marketplace.”
Martin Elliott who is currently studying a Masters in Global Financial Management said, “The new systems at the school are excellent and offer a fantastic opportunity for myself and other finance students, both in terms of aiding with our studies and the experience of using this software which links the real world with that of the academic. Also the opportunity of completing the Bloomberg qualification which I intend doing later this year will look good on my CV and will help when looking for my first post qualification job.”
