My experience with the University of London International Programmes has truly been a remarkable one. I seized an opportunity to study a bachelor’s degree from one of the most renowned universities in the world and feel proud of the decision. With the support of the lecturers, I was able to maximise my true potential.

After completing the BSc Banking and Finance offered by University of London International Programmes, I have been working for a finance company and am now studying for a master’s degree in Economics at the University of Hong Kong. I encourage everyone to decide on the right programme leading to your desired academic and career path.

The course content stimulated my thinking and presented certain facts I might have known before in a more scientific way. On top of that, modules on advanced subjects were also very valuable and practical to me, genuinely contributing to my understanding of the financial world.
