Corporate Finance PlacementAY5129: Corporate Finance Placement
Trimester 3 | Credits: 20
There is strong evidence to suggest that placements and work experience are extremely valuable to students, both in terms of their academic performance in their chosen profession and enhancing their employability. In the MSc in Corporate Finance we recognise that every student is different thus getting the ‘fit’ right between the student and the host company for placements is a priority for us. As placements are paid, employers regard students on this programme as real employees and expect them to bring value. Consequently, students are guaranteed to be challenged and supported simultaneously as they gain practical experience of working in the world of corporate finance. From the start we encourage students to look within in order to acknowledge who they truly are, what they like to do, what makes them happy, what they are really good at, what they would like to be really good at and to acknowledge their values, desires and ambitions. And then we actively help students to seek and secure a position in a company where they will thrive and grow, both personally and as a finance professional, over a 10 week paid professional placement.
