As a Mathematical Sciences major, I developed skills which would allow me to pursue a variety of careers. Yet, while my skills were widely applicable, I lacked industry-specific knowledge of how they would be applied. Swiss Finance both gave me skills and training for a specific sector, and helped me assess if this was the career path I wanted to pursue. I also feel that learning how to think about global markets and finance are skill sets that are an asset for almost any industry. The program was very intensive, we had long hours of classes and assignments. However, the atmosphere was one of excitement and learning, and looking back I could see that I would never have learned as much as I did if not for the schedule. The schedule was also a good test to see how we fared in such an environment, which had similar hours to investment banks. In addition, the coursework was balanced by the amazing scenery surrounding us and the weekend trips, which were a great way to take a break and enjoy Europe.
Cheers,
