"In 2007, I started work for UBS Investment Banking Division in London. I have to say that the MSc in Financial Economics was absolutely a rewarding course for me. My previous background was all in maths and physics, and before I came to Oxford, I had no idea about finance at all.

"The MFE provided systematic training in finance and economics where I learned useful concepts and quantitative methods for analysing and predicting market behaviours. I met many professionals and scholars in the lectures, events and career workshops; through talking to them I gained a general picture of the industry and shaped my career objectives.

Life on the MFE programme was very exciting. Our student profile was highly diversified. We organised a Chinese New Year Party and India Evening to promote eastern cultures; we went to see musicals and football matches together. We got along well and learned from each other. Actually, we still contact each other very frequently even after finishing the course. I think this experience has really helped me to adapt to the multi-cultural environment in investment banking.”
