Economics, Banking & Finance

Comments from students

"Glasgow is a beautiful multi-cultural centre and one of the top-rated places to visit in the world.  The people are lovely and helpful.  Studying at the University of Glasgow is a must for those intending to study development economics, banking and other finance-related subjects.  I have improved on my research skills and have learnt a lot in just a few months!  The lecturers are very helpful and resourceful.  It's a new world!"

"Living and studying in Glasgow means to be part of a huge international community.  Therefore, you learn not only economic principles but also the cultural background and views of many nations.  Outside University, you can share the cultural activities throughout the year - beginning in January with Robert Burns and ending with many ceilidhs in December."

"The city has a great student life.  The University has a highly-qualified staff that I actually enjoy learning from and very good facilities.  I think it was a very good choice to study in such a quiet city."

"I started work with an investment bank in March 2008.  My degree has been an important factor in my success in being awarded this position but I wasn’t solely motivated by the career prospects that a Masters degree can offer.  I really enjoy studying in the area of banking and finance and Glasgow was a great place to do this.  I would encourage students to pick a subject that interests them so they have fun during the learning process.  And then, work hard!"
