Welcome
Why are these qualifications relevant today?
Monetary policy and financial regulation are constantly evolving. Current issues include how to manage significant dislocations in global trade while trying to maintain a stable banking system. Longer term trends are also becoming clearer with the Financial Sector required to play its part in encouraging growth, attracting business investment, and the ongoing debate as to the merits of Central Bank Digital Currencies. This all sits on top of the pressure to encourage fintech, and find ways to utilise the insights of behavioural finance and the potential of Big Data. It is in this climate that, in collaboration with the Bank of England, we developed the Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation qualifications. The programme is designed for banking and finance professionals who require a level of flexibility in order to develop their career alongside other commitments. Through this programme you will be introduced to the latest evidence-led and practice-informed financial regulation and monetary policy, while providing practical discussion of real-world cases.
Flexible study By studying online around your work
commitments, you will be able to take your new knowledge and skills and immediately implement them into your workplace as well as on your CV. Furthermore, due to the modular nature of the programme, with each module being award-bearing, your learning can be evidenced almost immediately and tailored to suit your own personal aspirations and development – be that gaining expertise in one particular area or a holistic view of the wider environment. So, whatever your aspirations may be, I am confident that this collaboration between WBS and the Bank of England is the perfect platform from which to hone your knowledge and ultimately achieve your career goals.
