Doing the MSc in Finance helped me enormously as it enabled me to build on subject areas in which I was pretty poor, as well as opening new opportunities.

Student of Master of Science in Finance

When I did my first presentation I was so nervous and spoke so fast because I wanted it to be over. After being given feedback and working on certain areas, I was able to gain confidence and improve my skills. This can be said for a number of areas including working in groups and the quality of my assignments.
