FSR | Bloomberg Masterclass 2024

Are you eager to develop your professional skills in Finance? Or do you want to get acquainted with a global financial services system that can provide you with financial and economic information on all market sectors? Then join our Bloomberg Masterclass, where you will learn about the usage of the terminal by experts from the Erasmus Data Service Centre!

What is Bloomberg?

Bloomberg is a financial database that can be used by students at the Erasmus University Rotterdam for scientific and educational purposes. The Bloomberg Masterclass focuses on students with limited experience with using Bloomberg and are interested in analysing financial market data. During the two-hour masterclass, students will learn how to navigate the Bloomberg terminal and use basic Bloomberg data-gathering functions in Excel. The participants will work with Bloomberg on a computer while following instructions on a big screen. The skills taught in this class can be extremely valuable for data analysis to conduct research for your thesis. You can sign up for one of the two sessions, depending on which time would suit you best.

Furthermore, you get the opportunity to obtain a Bloomberg Market Concept (BMC) certificate for free (the usual price for students is $149) in your own time!

Are you excited to improve your skills and learn more about the Bloomberg Terminal? Or do you want to become more familiar with the use of Bloomberg to perform research or write your thesis? Then join us for the Bloomberg Masterclass!
