A level Computing students visit Morgan Stanley bank in Canary Wharf

18 of our 6th form computing students had an opportunity to visit Morgan Stanley bank in January. They had many enjoyable presentations rstly about the work of an investment bank and also on issues to do with the programming work at the bank and some of the mathematical methods used by these programmers as well as the use of particular computational methods. Our students were able to visit both the

trading oor and their top- oor restaurant with excellent views across the City. All of the students agreed that the visit was an excellent educational opportunity for them and many had a chance to think about possible university study and possible future careers as well as a chance to ask questions to the programmers and mathematicians who gave up their time to do these presentations.

It was quite interesting to see the roles different programmers played inside the nancial environment and the problems they faced when using computer systems to forecast the the possible outcomes of the stock market. The food was nice too. — Tochi Obudulu (Year 12)
