This course aims to develop an understanding of the world of capital markets, investing and trading. The course commences with an introduction and in-depth look into the world of the stock market. Building on this, investment strategies, portfolio building, terminology and portfolio management are covered in detail.

On completion of the programme students should have acquired the skills to:

• Identify and understand the key macroeconomic and financial factors, which affect stock prices

• Develop the skills necessary to conduct effective research on publicly listed companies

• Familiarise students with market terminology and practices

• Understand the operation and mechanisms of both stock and derivative markets

• Understand and interpret key research data

• Develop a fundamental understanding of public companies, from both a technical and financial perspective.

DBS aims to give you the best possible campus and blended learning experience. All classes for 2020/21 will be taught on a hybrid learning basis. This means you will be on campus for some classes and other classes will be online. Your timetable will be available once you register for the programme and will advise you of which classes are on campus and which classes will be taken online.

Our objective is for every student to have as much classroom teaching as possible.   The amount of classroom teaching for any individual student is dependent upon how many other students are in the class.   On average we expect that while a 2-metre social distance requirement is in place for Colleges and Universities, a student will spend approximately one-third of their time in the classroom and the remainder online. 

However, for September 2020 intake only, students have the option of taking the entire diploma programme online.

All student services such as Career and Library Services, Student Welfare and Academic Support will still be fully available to all students. All of these support services are being reformatted for the new academic year so as students can access them online as well as on campus.

We would love to welcome you in person as per usual, but unconventional times call for creative alternatives – we will now be bringing the DBS experience straight to your home. Our Open Evening offers the perfect opportunity to speak with our team of expert lecturers and gain first hand knowledge on programmes offered across a variety of disciplines.

Realise your ambition from the comfort of your own home...This is a pre-registered event and therefore please register in advance of the date here. We will be in touch shortly with further information and details as we get closer to the event.

Hope to see you there!
