Previous Degree
BSc Maths and Philosophy Joint Honours, Durham University
Why did you choose the Programme?
I chose the programme initially based on the reputation of the School for excellent teaching quality, and the fact that the course seemed to be very well-structured. I particularly wanted to be able to study finance in London in order to immerse myself in the financial capital, and the fact that the course incorporated both theoretical and practical financial applications particularly appealed to me.
What aspect did you gain from / enjoy most?
I really enjoyed to challenge of applying myself to the course, especially when studying the electives in the second term, as the more complex the subject matter was, the more interesting and applicable to the real world it became. The lecturers were each very passionate about their topics which was reflected in the teaching quality. I also thought that the structure of the course and the support provided by the Department and the School was really helpful.
What are you doing next?
I will be joining a graduate scheme with Lloyds of London.
