Alumni Profile
"Overall my experience has been excellent. The course was exactly what I was looking for, combining both technical modules like financial decision making and other more management focused modules looking at the latest trends in banking and financial services.
There was a good combination of helpful and knowledgeable teaching staff and an excellent support infrastructure, including the library with its extensive online resources necessary for carrying out research. I enjoyed studying with people from varied cultures and backgrounds, and especially liked studying with a relatively small group of students. Due to this fact we all were able to get good personal support, advice and close attention from our tutors.
The friendly atmosphere at the University and within the Business School is very helpful to your studies. Fellow students were also very helpful and supportive to each other; I really enjoyed this aspect very much. I made lots of friends during my time at the University."
