Investment Challenges

The Investment Challenges are run as online competitions using the Dealing Room and Global Investor simulations.

Each participating school or college is provided with a licence of full the Stock Market Challenge resource, which includes 3 simulation games: Global Investor, Dealing Room and Trading Floor.

The competition's key focus and objective is to allow students to apply their learning in the key subject areas of Maths and Business, and to develop business awareness, transferable and employability skills and enterprise and entrepreneurship.

"Stock Market Challenge just gets better and better each year. Tha atmosphere in the 'trading room' was electric and the students really got into the spirit of the event. The School of Management is proud to support this project."

"The interactivity and excitement of Stock Market Challenge enabled us to engage with Year 6 pupils from our feeder schools and give them an experience that would help introduce subjects and themes they will explore in Year 7. The event was a great success."

Rob Wood, Director of Business and Enterprise, The Wellington Academy, Wiltshire

"Stock Market Challenge allows pupils to apply their understanding of mathematics to a real life situation in such a creative and refreshing way. I have written this into the scheme of work for all our KS4 classes. It's FAB!"
