City Course 2012 by KateCareers
Read what a former QM Economics student says about The City Course:
What I valued most was the first hand experience gained in workshops with fellow colleagues on the course; allowing me to formulate my own opinion of careers in finance and not solely rely on magazines and company brochures. Personally, the most poignant aspect of the course was witnessing the calibre of my colleagues competing for the same roles I was, driving me to step up my game in my ultimate year.
Dates: 17 – 20 September 2012
Application deadline: Friday 22 June 2012
