“Want a career in Finance and land the perfect job? The MSc in Finance at Lancaster University Management School is the right course for you. You will be taking all aspects of Finance, from Financial Markets to Financial Statement Analysis, while taking into consideration how investment banks treat the market. The course can be seen as a sort of ‘Finance Military Service’ from day one till the end of the course. But once you start it, you’ll know that your brain is acquiring every single Finance subject and your career is starting to build up. As for me, this is exactly what I wanted: to be an expert in Finance with a great career start.”
“Thanks to Lancaster University’s name and prestige, I got a job in New York City with accounting and consulting firm Iridium Consulting. I worked as a business analyst with clients like HSBC, JP Morgan and various hedge fund companies. Then I joined Royal Bank of Scotland in London as an analyst in their Leveraged Finance team.”
“In my opinion, this course is a success because the professors are passionate about what they’re doing. At Lancaster University, the professors, teachers and lecturers are always ready to assist students, not only with the course materials but with career guidance as well. A careers service is available for students. It helps you with CVs, cover letters, applications and interviewing skills.”
