After graduating with a degree in Economics, I set a goal for myself to enter the competitive world of investment banking.

Pursuing a career in this field demands keen intellectual instincts, a desire to work hard, and dedication to continually learn more and stay aware of world events. In order to continue learning about this fascinating industry, I attended Swiss Finance.

What did you like about the curriculum?

The curriculum style was different from what I was accustomed to at the undergraduate level. Swiss Finance instructors quickly pushed us to take the leap from theory to application. In fact, I find it difficult to even remember any purely theoretical exercises. I liked that everything was taught through case studies and group projects. This allowed us to learn how the use the material in the way we would apply it in real world scenarios. Grasping the difficulty of applying financial models and theories to real-life problems was a valuable experience. What was the best part of the program? One of the best parts of the program was the learning environment. I really enjoyed being in a focused environment – it allowed us to cover so much more information because everyone wanted to be there and learn. Our location in Switzerland also contributed to this. Being in a new culture and location removed everyone from daily distractions that can get in the way of focused study. Also, the combination of intensive academic study plus foreign travel opportunities is quite unique.
