MSc Finance Programme in Full Swing for Students to Triumph in New School Year
October marks a change of season. The first term is well and truly underway. Students of the MSc Programme in Finance (MSc Finance) have been swept off their feet and have been given a series of intensive orientation and alumni activities including a welcome meeting, a series of pre-term courses, Outward Bound course, alumni sharing, Executive Talk, Programme Orientation Dinner, as well as a number of career-related events.
On 21 and 28 August, two face-to-face alumni sharing sessions were organised to talk about career development. Alumni from different areas of finance were invited to give tips to our students on how to get a good start to their careers.
