The MSc Finance & Economics course
uses a range of different teaching
and learning methods. One of them
is group work, which I have found not
only strengthened my understanding
of theories, but also improved my
interpersonal communication and
sense of responsibility. WBS provides
great infrastructure, learning spaces and
extra support, allowing me to conduct
group work and exam revision more
effectively with my classmates.

WBS. Our MSc Mathematical Finance

After completing my undergraduate studies
in mathematics I wanted to deepen
my understanding of mathematics,
specifically in a high-level financial context,
in order to pursue a career within the
investment sector.
For me, the best thing about the course
was the depth of understanding that
is expected from all students. From day
one, the academics set their expectations
high for the cohort, and I found this highly
motivating. The course modules interweave
and overlap with relevant concepts and
ideas, emphasising the fundamental
underpinning of quantitative finance
and giving real-world applications for
theoretical content. The lecturers are all in
the top of their field, showcasing the three
departments’ commitment to delivering
the highest quality teaching.

I was fascinated by the course, which provides a great

I needed before pursuing a career in marketing.
Throughout each term there has been a mix of business
modules such as Strategy Analysis and Practice, as well as
marketing modules such as Service Marketing. I have also
been able to make friends with people outside my course,
because the business modules are taught with other

WBS because the MSc Business with Operations
Management course provided a great array of

to my particular interests. The best thing about
my course so far has been the group work which
has enabled me to learn from my classmates. At
first the emphasis on group work did slightly worry
me, however I soon found that working with my
classmates who are from all over the world
and have many different ideas, perspectives and

produce some of the best work.

By virtue of the nature of my course and having
to regularly interact with my course mates, I have
developed a high level of multicultural intelligence
skills. In Term 1 my group consisted of seven people
from five different countries - Malaysia, Nigeria, China,
Greece, and India. Collaborating with my course
mates has definitely broadened my perspective
of life and increased my network of friends. Besides
discussing our studies, we sometimes talk about our
aspirations and views on topics in the international
world of business such as politics, sports, and
technology which enables us to learn new knowledge
from one another.
Before coming to WBS, I was worried about being able
to cope with the intensity of an MSc course particularly
during a pandemic. However to my surprise, the
support I garnered was overwhelming. At every level
within the University of Warwick and WBS, I discovered
that I was able to fully adapt in a very short time and
with ease.

The main reason I wanted to pursue an MSc was to learn more about
finance, as I wanted to enter the industry but I had no prior experience
in the area.
The scholarship I received allowed me to focus on my studies without having
to work part-time, which I did during my Undergraduate years. This enabled
me to fully commit to fulfilling both my academic and non-academic
responsibilities and helped me develop excellent time management skills
and a very strong work ethic. I used my scholarship to pay off a large part
of my rent at the student accommodation in Coventry which felt amazing.
