## About

Which programming languages should you learn now? As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the software landscape, the roles of established programming languages are being redefined. This talk explores the evolving relationship between Python, C++, and kdb+/q in the context of large language models like ChatGPT. We examine how AI-assisted development is changing the way engineers write, debug, and optimize code across domains—from high-performance computing and real-time systems to data analysis and algorithmic trading. Python’s flexibility and AI-native ecosystem, C++’s unmatched control and performance, and kdb+/q’s dominance in time-series data all face new challenges and opportunities in an era of conversational coding. The session provides practical insights into how developers can leverage AI tools to amplify productivity, bridge language paradigms, and future-proof their technology stack.

**About the programme**
This is the first of a kind course that teaches what the job of a quantitative analyst, developer or strat really is. There will be nearly no math in the course, but you will learn about the exact types of the quant jobs on the sell and buy-side, in consulting and in fintech, daily routines of different types of quants and their interaction among themselves and with other stakeholders, quant reports and other deliverables, quant library organization, the quant R&D process on the sell and buy-side and, finally, the skills that are really necessary beyond the technical ones and the career prospects. There is also a special section providing a very high-level view on the quant modelling for pricing, risk and trading strategy design. Sections on the organizational structure, quant job types and quant deliverables will be also useful for non-quants, including MBAs and CFA candidates.

**Empowering Global Talent: Emerging Markets Subsidy**

Finance is global. So is talent. That’s why the QDC also offers an **Emerging Markets Subsidy** to support applicants from developing and underrepresented regions. We believe that potential shouldn’t be limited by geography—and this initiative ensures broader access to high-quality financial education.
If you’re based in an emerging market and passionate about entering or advancing in the quant finance space, this **tailored subsidy** is designed for you, please submit an enquiry.

The Quantitative Developer Certificate (QDC): Information session

**Bank runs in 2023: assessment and policy implications for liquidity risk management**

**Dr. Richard Senner, Financial Stability Dept., Swiss National Bank**

Tuesday 16th September 2025: 1700 BST / 1800 CET / 1200 EST

**[The Certificate of Bank Treasury Risk Management (BTRM)](https://btrm.org/ "https://btrm.org/")** and **[University of Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW)](https://www.fhnw.ch/en/startseite "https://www.fhnw.ch/en/startseite")** are pleased to bring the next in our occasional series of "Thought Leadership" webinars for banking markets. **Dr. Richard Senner** presents results from a paper co-authored with U. Bindseil (ECB), which assessed the 2023 bank failures. The markets witnessed rapid and large deposit outflows from medium-sized US regional banks as well as Credit Suisse, in all cases leading ultimately to those banks's demise. Richard's lecture will look at where bank deposits flowed out to, as well as current and prospective future factors that may contribute to the increase of the speed and size of bank runs. Bank ALM managers must accept the new normal of less stable and more expensive sight deposits, as well as other "lessons learned".
