The World Federation of Exchanges (“The WFE”), the global body for exchanges and CCPs, today announced the creation of a new Market Infrastructure Certificate (MIC) programme, the first of its kind, which is aimed at educating the next generation of financial services leaders globally.
The WFE has chosen Bayes Business School as the university educational partner for the programme. The MIC programme, which is the only one of its kind, will be purpose-built to serve the learning needs of all senior managers and mid-career professionals who need to engage with, and understand, the functioning and role of the organisations that underpin public markets. It’s expected to support professionals at central banks, buy-side and sell-side firms, exchanges, clearing houses and regulatory bodies.
The MIC will operate a blended learning approach, with both online and face to face elements, including two residential weeks: one at Bayes in London with teaching by faculty and the other at a WFE member for an industry immersion experience. The MIC will be an accredited programme and successful participants will obtain from Bayes Business School a post-graduate certificate worth 60 credits upon completion.
The programme will consist of online webinars covering the theory of the core principles, case-based examples and a mix of academic and industry leader led sessions. The online component will include recorded sessions which participants can access at a time that suits them and a series of live webinars which will be highly interactive.
The taught modules will be:
- Module 1 – Payments and Market Infrastructures,
- Module 2 – Exchanges, Asset classes and Market Micro-Structure,
- Module 3 – Regulation, ESG and Ethics
- Module 4 – Industry Project
To register interest or to receive updates about the programme please email MIC@world-exchanges.org. Applications will open later this year.
