I've seen too many graduates struggle because they never learned to spot the warning signs in financial statements. That's why our program focuses heavily on practical risk evaluation techniques.

How Our Program Actually Works

Real Company Analysis

You'll analyze actual listed companies from the Irish Stock Exchange and beyond. No hypothetical case studies—just real businesses with real financial challenges and opportunities that you'll learn to evaluate properly.

Industry Standard Tools

We use the same financial databases and analysis software that professional research teams depend on. You'll graduate knowing exactly how to navigate Bloomberg terminals and institutional research platforms.

Mentor-Guided Research

Each participant works closely with experienced analysts who review your work and provide detailed feedback. It's like having a senior colleague guide your development throughout the entire program.

Portfolio Construction

By program end, you'll have built and defended a complete investment portfolio. This becomes a tangible demonstration of your analytical abilities that speaks volumes during job interviews.

Program Timeline - Starting September 2025

Months 1-2: Foundation Building

Master financial statement analysis and learn to use professional research databases. You'll start with smaller companies to build confidence before tackling complex multinational corporations.

Months 3-5: Sector Deep Dives

Focus on specific industries, understanding the unique metrics and risks that matter in technology, healthcare, energy, and financial services sectors. Each month covers different industry dynamics.

Months 6-8: Advanced Analysis

Tackle complex valuation models, merger analysis, and market timing considerations. This is where you develop the sophisticated analytical skills that set senior researchers apart.

Month 9: Portfolio Defense

Present your investment recommendations to a panel of industry professionals. This final challenge mirrors the kind of presentations you'll give to portfolio managers and investment committees.

Learn Through Actual Practice

Most finance programs teach theory. We throw you into the deep end with real market data from day one. You'll make mistakes—that's the point. Better to learn from errors in a supportive environment than in your first job.
