The Derivatives Trading course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. As a Japanese finance student, I was looking to deepen my understanding of derivatives and their applications in the market. The course provided a detailed and structured approach to the subject, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. I appreciated the instructor's attention to detail and the comprehensive course notes, which included many examples and illustrations. One area for improvement could be the addition of more advanced topics, such as exotic derivatives or machine learning applications in derivatives trading. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it has prepared me well for my future studies and career in finance.
