I had the background of a real estate banker and a passion for private equity. This course provided the tools to put the pieces together, giving me the skills and the knowledge to become a private equity real estate practitioner and structure complex transactions.
The programme exceeded my expectations and it is a privilege to become a member of the Saïd Business School. Attending this programme was the best career investment that I have ever made.
