Alumni Profile Charles Vogt
The support, care, and encouragement from my lecturers gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in finding employment. Not only do lecturers care about how you perform inside the classroom, but they also care about how you’ll succeed later down the line. The career fairs and employment support on offer at BBS certainly helped me to connect with people in the same area of study and branch out my network in order to secure a job after graduation. In fact, if I hadn’t attended a ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ careers fair, I wouldn’t have met the employer I’m still with today!
Alumni Profile Norra Tengcharoensuk
The course itself was great and delivered by knowledgeable and caring lecturers, and the modules were set up in a way where the things you learnt were applicable to the real world. I think content plus applicability really helped bring the course to life and opened doors for me to pursue a job in the field and industry that I am interested in.
0.2 Hello my name is George Buckley and i was a ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ student many moons ago now back in the early 1990s
0.7 and I want to tell you a bit aboutÌýmy career progression and perhaps give you some advice about your time at university and beyond.
0.17 Now i did a degree in Economics at ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ and I loved ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ.
0.21 I thought it was a great place to study you have the beautiful backdrop of the Menai Straits on one side and of course the Snowdonia national park on the other
0.29 super place to study and I then went on to Bristol to do a master's degree in economics and finance and completed a PhD at Bristol
0.38 as well thereafter and after that I went to went to the city and became the Chief UK Economist at Deutsche bank
0.46 and since then as you can see, I'm now the Chief European and UK Economist at Nomura.
0.53 So what advice can I give you?ÌýWell one thing I would say is that the time that you spend at university
0.59 I certainly found went by so quickly, so you need to make the most of it make sure that you get a good degree but also makeÌýsure that you leave university with more strings to your bow than just that
1.01 Make sure you foster some good friendships, make sure that you join clubs, get extracurricular activities under your belt
1.19 and importantly if you want to do something like I have it's really important these days that you get some good work experience
1.37 So if you get the chance to do any work placements make sure youÌýtake them but above all, enjoy your time at ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ.

Your Career Starts Here
0:00 Hi I'm Natalia Ehenulo, I'm from Reading. A lot of the exams obviously written and
0:06 you know for me particularly we're doing either equations
0:09 or we're doing essays but the lecturers also take the time to really go through
0:14 software systems that you will do eventually when you come out even if we don't do it in the
0:19 exam for example stator and Excel we can't do those in the exams but they think about the long
0:24 term, the longevity of our skills as well and they make sure we do that we've done it in assignments
0:30 I know for credit risk analytics we have to use a Excel to calibrate the Merton model I know
0:37 for research methods and financial econometrics we've also had to use Stata and these are really
0:42 employable skills. I know when I was looking for jobs outside of University that a lot of companies
0:49 ask us to have proficiency in Excel or python r or some sort of data software and having those skills
0:56 already enabled in us really makes it easier to fill out those applications and meet the skill
1:02 requirements that employers are looking for. It definitely did help and it's definitely something
1:08 that I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to do whilst being here.
