MSc Finance and Investment 2004-05
I decided to study my master's degree at Brunel University because of the schools campus environment and the new facilities being built for the betterment of the students. Studying in the UK has also given me the opportunity to be diversified into a new culture, and being at Brunel I find myself surrounded by individuals from many different nationalities. I feel that what makes my studies interesting is the use of recent articles and relevant journals along with the course textbook in the classroom. The international office staff have always provided me with useful information and is always willing to help me with any of my needs. I plan on continuing my education for a Phd here at Brunel University as well. |
