Why did you choose to attend Swiss Finance?

Swiss Finance was recommended to me by an economics professor. Throughout college I had a strong interest in entrepreneurship and became actively involvement in entrepreneurship and consulting groups. The program looked interesting because it combined strong training in investment banking and trading with entrepreneurship. I had not seen another program which covered such range of topics, and I viewed it as a good opportunity to get very practical career preparation after undergraduate study.

How did Swiss Finance prepare you for your career?

The material I learned at Swiss Finance added a new and unique dimension to my educational background. The material at Swiss Finance was an intellectual complement to the economics courses I took at Brown. Through economics, I gained an appreciation for broad theories that have strong explanatory power. Through the modules at the program, I gained insight into corporate financial decisions, for example, which may or may not be easily theorized. The program was also good preparation to undertake before considering a career in financial services. I felt that the instructors were able to give students a sense of the differences between career paths within the field of investing. This helped me further evaluate which aspects I really found most appealing and which jobs incorporate those types of situations most often.
