Finance & Investment (Energy Trade) MSc at Regents University London

The programme has been accredited by the Chartered Management Institute and the successful graduates will be eligible to receive a certificate for CMI Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership Practice.

The Energy Trade pathway examines and evaluates the global energy trading industry, and the economic and political factors that influence it. You’ll gain true insight into the art and science of trading through real-time trading simulation exercises developed in collaboration with a city-based financial technology  company (Amplify Trading). This exposure to the uncertainty of daily energy markets will help you learn how to develop trading strategies and respond effectively to complex business situations.

You will also have access to free student membership to the Energy Institute, which is the royal chartered professional body of the industry. This membership gives you access to monthly seminars and level panel discussions. This rigorous training programme prepares you for a career in trading within the energy market or as part of ‘back office’ operations, on both the supply and demand side.
