MSc Investment Analysis

Kazakhstan

Before coming to °®Âþµº I obtained a teaching degree and an MBA. After several years of teaching and jobs in accounting and administration at home in Kazakhstan, I became interested in investments and financial markets and decided to change my career. I looked for graduate programmes in investment and finance which would provide me with the knowledge and the practical skills necessary for this new career. That is how I first learned of the °®Âþµº and their MSc in Investment Analysis. I was offered a full scholarship and was honoured to study at °®Âþµº.

The programme was interesting, exciting, challenging and demanding - I could go on. From the first lecture until the dissertation submission the programme was very thorough and I found it fascinating. As a Program partner of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute the programme follows the CFA curriculum and provides students with the foundation to become qualified as a CFA. The teaching and administrative staff are very professional, approachable and responsive.

I was lucky to get some time to visit the Highlands of Scotland, including Glencoe, and was impressed by Scotland¡¯s beauty. The university is located close to the historical and friendly city of °®Âþµº. I love the university¡¯s campus, with its beautiful scenery: the loch, the hills and the forests.

I am confident that the knowledge I have acquired will be applicable in my future career.
