I am very grateful to Durham University Business School for the valuable academic visit and to Ustinov College for the travel award funding, which will encourage and support students to go out and explore the wider world, gain new knowledge and broaden their horizons.

The MSc Finance programme offers such high levels of practical experience which I've found has made partaking even more beneficial, due to the employability level it pushes you to. The opportunities through the course, such as the Zishi Trader Experience Day, have also been invaluable in becoming a better academic but also early professional.
