    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • 1) Victoria Cleland gave her view on the future of notes and money market which differs from the general skeptical opinion about the future of cash. She also mentioned the methodology and analysis which the team implements in order to estimate currency demand and make necessary adjustments. That helps in my research. 2) Early Careers' presentation and networking gave a better idea about the corporate environment, daily operations and skills requires. Alex and Holly gave a number of useful tips for the application. 3) The museum helps to know better the Bank of England.
