    • From the presentations and workshops arranged, a lot of guidance was given in terms of what to expect when working in the industry and tips. Also, a group task was given to us to create a presentation and analysts were happy to give us guidance on the task. If we had any questions, HR were more than happy to help.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The information I received about the everyday tasks of an Investment Banking Analyst and the guidance on how pitchbooks/ presentations are created was very useful as these are all tasks that are carried out on the job. The technical training session was also useful.
