New Masters Degree in wealth management launched
A new Masters Degree in wealth management has been launched at Loughborough University's School of Business and Economics.
St James's Place has set up the new Level 7 qualification for its own employees only.
Loughborough has worked with key members of the St James's Place management and technical teams to create a series of modules, tailored specifically to suit employees and partners of the firm, which can be practically applied to their roles.
Professor Angus Laing, dean of business and economics at Loughborough University, said: "We are pleased that St James's Place chose Loughborough for the development of its community.
"All delegates will be encouraged to implement knowledge and skills learned immediately.

"Assessment, whilst academically robust, will be work-based and designed to provide practical benefits to both the individual and their organisation."
The programme will aim to encourage participants to develop learning and skills across a large range of management disciplines, including marketing of financial services, strategic management of business and generating customer loyalty.
David Bellamy, chief executive at St James's Place, said: "St. James's Place naturally aspires to high standards of technical capability and fair dealing, ensuring that our partners provide clients the best possible advice and service. "Entering an exclusive partnership with such a prestigious institution as Loughborough University's School of Business and Economics will give our community further opportunities to be champions of high quality advice and expertise."
The School of Business and Economics has been rated as one of the top-10 business schools in the UK by national league tables.
It is among just 1% of business schools in the world to hold AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA accreditation.
