I have long aspired to be a student at LSE, which is a truly outstanding academic institution. It equips students with knowledge, skills and importantly – also the mindset, necessary to succeed in today's turbulent times and the tough job market. Moreover, its urban location in the heart of Europe's capital makes it unique, offering the vibrant lifestyle of a Londoner, exceptional links with employers and a truly multi-cultural perspective.

LSE’S Department of Finance is one of the largest and most reputable finance departments, and the school is advantageously located in the centre of London, one of the world’s leading financial centres. LSE also has a great reputation with employers. Thanks to the extensive career support here, I was successful at landing a job at an investment bank focused on technology driven growth companies.
