year "/City of London - City of Learning/". This programme will highlight City-related UK professional institutes, business schools and

Banks, brokers, securities firms and insurers, plus lawyers and accountants, from around the world provide a massive pool of financial liquidity and human expertise. The provision of leading edge education and training services in the UK has
been central to building London's global status today and is key to the development of the professional competencies that firms will need to sustain their position and secure growth in the future. UK education and training services open up an abundance of career opportunities in
financial and professional services in London, the UK, and the international market.
