Bloomberg Terminals provide access to the Bloomberg Professional services, offering a wide range of financial instruments and markets, including stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies and more.
Through the terminals, you can also access Bloomberg’s eLearning platform, where you can learn to use the Bloomberg Terminals effectively by taking part in online courses. The platform also offers certificate courses that teach you essential concepts in economics, finance, and sustainable investing. These courses are interactive and you can complete them through independent study.
Access
There are four Bloomberg Terminals accessible exclusively in the Finance Area. They can be booked by WU students or staff members using the reservation system on our website. You can reserve terminals for up to three hours per day.
