It is quite difficult to explain how this Master has become one of the best experiences of my life in a few words, but if I had to choose only two words to explain it, they would be “opportunity” and “enrichment”. I consider that this Master is such a great opportunity, in so many aspects. On the one hand, you will acquire pretty important financial knowledge in many areas such as risk, portfolio management or corporate finance, but at the same time you will have the opportunity to develop different valuable skills such as team work, speaking skills or how to take advantage of your time. On the other hand, another very important advantage of this Master is the personal enrichment you get due to the social and cultural diversity which gives you the chance to see how an idea can be approached from completely different perspectives, and how a cooperative and well-integrated group of work is one of the keys for success nowadays. As a result, my recommendation, a year like the one you are going to experience just happens once in life, so, make the most of it.
My experience with my Master´s and how it prepared me for my future career. While doing my Master´s in Finance and Banking in English, I acquired a great deal of knowledge about finance because of the wide range of topics discussed and because of the excellent professors. Currently, I work as a trader in OSTC Trading, and I operate within their financial markets. I consider my Master´s to be valuable because it gave me the tools to understand macroeconomics, to manage their portfolio and risk management.
Taking the MSc Finance and Banking at UAH was one of the best decisions I ever made. Living abroad and interacting with international professors and classmates was a great experience. With excellent faculty and staff, the program provides you wih the necessary skills and expertise to boost your financial career. Thanks to the Master Program, I was able to find a position as a financial analyst, and right from day one, I was able to apply all the knowledge and skills acquired during the course.
