What is Markets 101?
Markets 101 is our flagship weekly lecture series, open to all Imperial students regardless of background or experience. Each session covers a different topic in financial markets, from the basics of equities and fixed income to more advanced areas like derivatives, market microstructure, and quantitative strategies.
Who teaches?
Every lecture is delivered by a fellow Imperial student who has completed an internship at a leading hedge fund, bank, or trading firm. This means you get real-world insight from people who have been in the seat, not just textbook theory.
What to expect
- Accessible, jargon-free introductions to key market concepts
- Practical examples drawn from real trading desks
- Q&A with speakers after every session
- A great starting point before diving into AlgoCourse or Queen's Tower Capital
