Career outcomes

The financial services sector has an ever-expanding need for graduates trained in the fundamentals of compliance, governance and regulation. This increasing demand has been fuelled by the implementation of a number of rules and laws, including the EU Market Abuse Directive, Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), global standards such as Basel II, and the FSA and US regulators’ focus on principles-based regulation, all of which require significant in-house compliance resources.
