MSc Accounting & Financial Management, 2009 Country of origin: Germany Employer: Electronic Arts (EA)


“Living in Lancaster and studying an MSc in Accounting and Financial Management enriched my life in every aspect possible. Lancaster turned out to be the perfect combination of hard work and great fun.”


“ When I first arrived, I was amazed by the international mixture of students. Never before have I had the chance to collaborate and celebrate with so many culturally different people. Also, the University’s workload was quite reasonable. The modules were challenging but professors, lecturers and tutors delivered perfect guidance on how to master each subject. Interactions with the professors during class were particularly encouraged. This was very important to me because I enjoy contributing. The modules’ difficulty increased throughout the academic year but so did the possibilities for choosing one’s favourite areas - allowing students to reach new levels of excellent, in-depth knowledge.”


“The main benefit with regard to my professional career was that I qualified for the job of my dreams as a Financial Analyst with one of the world’s top gaming companies. Doing a Masters degree in a foreign country is always a great asset, but also having the time of one’s life makes it unbeatable. I enjoyed Lancaster a lot and thoroughly recommend studying at LUMS.”
