In collaboration with

IFSA Ramjas and CFA Institute

The chapter is now a recognised CFA Institute student club. Our members get the Institute's own learning material, career tools and research: the same standards the profession is held to, while they are still undergraduates.

Claim it in the store
  1. ICAN career matching

    A career quiz that maps your strengths onto real first roles in finance, with a personalised roadmap, including routes in for students without a finance degree.

  2. Research and Policy Center

    Practitioner research across capital markets, technology, industry and sustainability. Reading our members can bring into dissertations, workshops and interviews.

  3. Career Conversations

    Recorded interviews with working investment professionals, from new entrants to people decades in, on how they actually got there.

  4. Facilitation packs for our sessions

    Slides, speaker guides, module summaries and a glossary, so a member-led workshop is backed by material written by the Institute rather than assembled the night before.

  5. Curated content through the year

    Learning resources, research insights, discussion prompts and webinar invitations sent to the committee across the academic year.

  6. A direct line to CFA Institute

    Periodic check-ins with the Institute and our local society, where the committee can share plans and ask for support.

How far it goes

The route to becoming a campus ambassador

CFA Institute recognises one student ambassador for the college, and the chapter puts forward its own leadership. Members selected to the core team take on running sessions, holding the relationship with the Institute and answering for what the chapter publishes, and it is that work the recognition is for. It comes from the Institute directly, and it is the furthest this collaboration goes for an individual member.

Questions

The chapter holds the relationship with the Institute, so questions come to us rather than to them. Whether the certificate is worth your time, how the store pricing works, what the ambassador route asks of you: ask the chapter.
