About the ICMA Centre
The ICMA Centre provides students with a transformational financial education, with renowned teaching staff, industry experts and excellent facilities.
The ICMA Centre is one of six departments within the triple-accredited Henley Business School. Our faculty undertakes collaborative research with colleagues from Henley and also the wider University of Reading network.
The Centre was built thanks to generous funding provided by the International Capital Market Association, whose mission is to “promote resilient well-functioning international and globally coherent cross-border debt securities markets, which are essential to fund sustainable economic growth and development.”
In April 2022 we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the foundation of the centre. Read more about the history of the ICMA centre and our plans for a sustainable future by visiting our news pages.
Our undergraduate, postgraduate and executive education finance courses have a global reputation. The same is true of our professional and policy development research and consultancy.
One of the first things you’ll notice when visiting the Centre is the sense of community amongst our staff and students. As well as enjoying social events together during the year, including our famous Christmas party and leavers’ BBQ, you’ll also have the chance to attend professional events designed to further your industry and academic experience.
You’re more than just a number to us, and with the Henley Business School’s global alumni network you’ll stay part of our community, wherever you end up next.
