Worcester Business School - The stock market and how it works

Tuesday 1^st March 2022 

We are all aware of the ‘stock market’ but most of us do not understand how it functions or know what types of assets can be bought and sold. In this session we will briefly discuss these topics and there will also be a short multiple-choice quiz.

If you are interested in studying Accounting and Finance, please stick around at the end of the talk, as we shall be providing insight into our courses and there will also be an opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with lecturers.

You can book your place.
