- Welcome from our London Managing Director
- How we trade FX: strategy, technology, and the people behind it
- Our commodities desk: what we trade and why it's interesting
- A few words from IMC's global CEO

Who we're looking for: final-year students in any quantitative discipline - maths, physics, computer science, engineering, econometrics. Curiosity matters more than a specific course.
Places are limited to 25 and allocated on a first-come basis.
