We also rank in the world top 30 and UK top five for international course experience (no.28 and no.4 respectively), with this year’s ranking including for the first time students who participated in a study trip to Greece, taking a course on Fintech and Digital Transformation in Financial Services and taking part in a digital banking challenge.

Professor George Alexandridis, Head of Pre-Experience Postgraduate Programmes, said:

“We are very glad to see our finance programmes at the ICMA Centre climbing further to the top five in the UK in this prestigious ranking. This reflects the hard work we have put in to Henley’s suite of Masters programmes aiming to provide a top class student experience, with a strong focus on a practice-oriented curriculum as well as the careers development and aspirations of our students who remain our most important stakeholders.”

According to the Financial Times, 31st October 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is expected to offer cash-settled futures contracts on Bitcoin by the end of 2017. CME, the world’s largest exchange by market value, has offered futures contracts on agricultural products, metals, energy, equity indexes, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, real estate, and even weather. With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, the CME has finally decided to enter into the unregulated digital asset market.
