The main reason for doing my Master of Management in Finance and Investment (MM-FI) programme was driven by a passion to understand financial markets and to network in the finance and investment industry.The programme has made me earn respect in many aspects of my professional career as I mix with well renowned industry experts. Currently I am busy working towards publishing a few articles through the guidance of experienced academies within the faculty. As a result of my undertaking of this programme I have had an opportunity to pursue a PhD program within WBS and I have got promotion at work that includes managing the relationships we have with numerous asset management companies.
