ICMA Centre students day trip to Bath

On a beautifully crisp and sunny Sunday morning, 68 ICMA Centre students and staff boarded a coach to Bath for a day trip to one of England’s oldest and richest historical cities. Organised by the Student Ambassador, Dan Alder, the day was a great opportunity to meet with others from across the ICMA Centre’s programmes, with individuals from around the world, taking up the chance to explore the West of England.

Both undergraduates and postgraduates, browsed through the atmospheric, traditional Christmas market with over 140 stalls, to pick up some gifts or just sample some mulled wine.

Several students enjoyed a visit to the Ancient Roman Baths where the Romans first built on Bath’s geothermal spa over 2000 years ago. While others preferred to relax, bathing in the open-air roof top spa, with a stunning view of the town and Abbey below.

The day proved a great success with the Student Ambassadors already looking forward to planning their next event!

Learning from the Competition

19 November 2018
ICMA Centre Visiting Fellow Dr Keith Arundale was featured in the November 2018 issue of the ICAEW’s Corporate Financier magazine. The article “Learning from the Competition” was based on Keith’s PhD research into the difference in investment practices of European and US venture capital firms and in their structural characteristics and the wider environment in which the firms operate, including cultural differences and attitudes to risk. Keith’s thesis is that these differences contribute to the lower historic performance of European VC funds compared to US VC funds.
