We're delighted to offer Financial Trading Competitions in the 2026/27 academic year for students studying Level 3 qualifications.
This immersive, hands-on experience introduces students to the fundamentals of financial trading while developing teamwork, analytical thinking, and decision-making skills.
Give your students a unique insight into the world of financial markets through the Sheffield Business School Financial Trading Competition, hosted in our new state-of-the-art Bloomberg Suite.
Financial Trading Competitions at Sheffield Hallam University’s City Campus offer insight into the range of courses on offer at Sheffield Business School, including Accounting and Finance, Banking, Economics and Financial Trading.
Students will gain an overview of financial markets and key trading terminology, then test their knowledge working directly on Bloomberg Terminals and CME Platform applying real-world tools used by industry professionals. Students will design and execute trades in a competitive environment.
This outreach activity is ideal for Year 12 and Year 13 students interested in Finance, Economics, Business, or career pathways in the financial sector, offering an engaging and authentic university-level experience.
