Compete on the quality of your judgement.
A founding inter-university competition run on live markets inside AWSIM Campus — where students are measured not on the answer they land on, but on the reasoning that got them there. Faculty mark the reasoning trail. Universities see, for the first time, how their students actually decide.
Open to students and faculty. Register → Validate → Compete.
Live markets. Real uncertainty. Marked reasoning.
Teams from participating universities enter AWSIM Campus and trade a simulated portfolio against live market data, interspersed with fair breakout scenarios that hit every team at the same moment. Every decision a student takes — what they noticed, how they framed it, what they chose to do and why — is captured as a reasoning trail by the AW Engine. Entry is anonymous by design: teams are identified by participant code, and faculty mark the reasoning, not the reputation.
Who can enter
Undergraduate and postgraduate students at participating universities, entered as departmental teams. Faculty register separately to supervise and mark their institution's cohort.
What you are scored on
Not luck, and not solely return. The AW Engine scores detection, decoding and decision quality across the whole reasoning path, so a well-argued losing call outranks a lucky guess.
What you get
Full AWSIM Campus access for the duration of the competition, a replayable record of your own judgement, and a leaderboard standing visible to your faculty and to participating institutions.
AWSIM Campus is an educational simulation and does not provide investment advice. Nothing within the platform, the competition or any communication relating to them constitutes a financial promotion, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any instrument. No real money is traded and no positions are held on any student's behalf.
Four steps from form to first trade.
Registration is a short form, then a human check. We validate every registrant with the TTC Institute and with your university before any account is created — which is why credentials arrive by email rather than instantly on screen.

The TTC Institute and your University Faculty validate your details and your eligibility to compete.

Who is the data controller
Lumozek Ltd is the data controller for registration data collected through this site. AWSIM EDUCATION and AWSIM Campus are operated by Lumozek Ltd. We handle your personal data in line with UK GDPR.
What we collect, and why
- Name and email — to identify you, to confirm your registration, and to send your credentials on approval.
- University, department, course and team name — to route your registration to the right faculty for validation and to place you in the right cohort.

That is the whole list. We practise data minimisation: we do not ask for your date of birth, your address, your student number, your grades or any special-category data. We keep your data secure, use it only to run the competition and assess your application, and do not sell it. We share it only with the service providers who help us operate the competition, under appropriate safeguards.
How long we keep it
We keep your data no longer than we need to — up to 24 months after the competition ends. Applications not taken forward are deleted once selection is complete.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your data at any time by contacting registrations@awsim.ai.
Legal basis
We process registration data because it is necessary to run the competition and assess your application. By registering you agree to the access terms and this notice.
