MSc Finance

China

With great expectation and excitement I arrived in central Scotland and °®Âþµº. From the first sight I fell in love with the gorgeous campus, magnificent buildings and facilities with harmony between humans and nature. 

The well-designed courses on MSc Finance ensure that every student can obtain the integrated and up-to-date financial skills, both theoretical and practical, no matter whether they have experience in finance or are new to the area, as I was. Without a background in finance, I worked hard and the University Library became the second home for me during the whole year, where I highly recommend the small study rooms as it is a fantastic place for study with beautiful views. For international students I should also highlight the great support available from the °®Âþµº Student Officer as well as the teaching and administrative staff, all of which ensure the life of overseas students is easier. 

After graduating I started my career in finance by entering the Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns in the position of analyst where I focus on valuation work related to IPOs such as preferred shares, convertible bonds, employee share option plans and intangibles assets. In addition, I decide to further boost my professional knowledge by taking the CFA examinations as the MSc Finance has also helped prepare me for these. 

Studying the MSc Finance in °®Âþµº paved a way for my future development in the financial sector.
