I feel like this was time very effectively spent.
I think that it was quite unique, something that I would hardly have anywhere else.
You have one year time to reconsider your life choice and then to redirect where you want to go next.
The Programme provides you such a breadth and depth. It’s been really invaluable.
This was an amazing year for opportunities and personal growth for me. I wanted to study in a top-tier university where I have access to a diverse background of classmates.
Being here with people from all around the globe and with different cultural experiences, backgrounds, that I think will help me a lot with my professional career.
I’ve built a network that I think I can nurture and grow forward with.
The 2 things about MFin, really, is about building the technical skill set to work in finance and then secondly is about exploring different career options.
I was very impressed by the nature of the MFin Programme. It was structured with a lot of practical aspects to it and also the faculty, with most of them being industry practitioners themselves.
It gave me courses ranging from investment management to blockchain and AI.
I enjoyed a lot of private equity and financial entrepreneurial acquisitions. I think both of them were quite insightful and useful for me.
The highlight for me would be the session with former vice president of the Federal Reserve, Roger Ferguson, who taught us about central banking and inflation. Something like this really is a unique thing that few schools worldwide could offer.
Networking with the professors, specifically Simon and Ragu. Networking with my cohort and MBAs. Networking with people outside the Business School– say investors, politicians– has been the highlight of my year.
I really enjoy being a member of Pembroke College. Its rich history, pretty architecture, but at the same time for me, that I was able to have a lot of activities with my college, including hosting of different formal dinners with my classmates as well as my lecturers.
I am a proud member of the Jesus College, and it’s been an incredible privilege because it actually means that you’re going to engage with people from very different backgrounds, and the intellectual diversity of conversation you can have and just thinking critically about your knowledge and implications of what you’re doing in the wider society and economy.
The value I’ve added to myself during this 9-month period is kind of equivalent to maybe like 3 years of work during a normal setting.
It’s an absolute rewarding experience to study in Cambridge and study at MFin.
