Class of 2018-19 "What I really enjoyed was the practical aspect of the curriculum. We had different courses where we had specific and realistic projects, so we could get a clear idea of the corresponding jobs. One of the best days was the trading simulation day, when we had a lot of fun while learning the job of a sales trader, trader and hedge fund analyst. There’s the Bloomberg room, where we work on our personal projects whenever we want. Also, the head of the MSc tries to focus the programme on skills that are in high demand, such as programming skills. We’ve learned several programming languages this year. Python was a new course, and the head of the MSc was attentive to our feedback to improve it (which was not necessary, as the professor was really good). We met inspiring speakers with impressive careers, and some of them are willing to help us to find internships. I have found an internship as a credit risk analyst at Credit Suisse (Zurich), thanks to the MSc head who guided me to a job which corresponds to my personality and in a city where I’d like to work.
