After completing my undergraduate degree in Cape Town, South Africa, my goal was to continue my studies in Europe. I wanted to pursue a Masters in Finance, before beginning my planned career in Finance, in either a bank or corporate company. I therefore, wanted to enrol in a programme which would give me exposure to both market, as well as corporate finance. Also, I wanted to find a programme which included coursework and a dissertation, taught entirely in English and which would provide the opportunity of meeting people of many different cultures from all over the world. EDHEC Business School provided the perfect environment in which to do this.

Not only is EDHEC interested in providing the best possible academic education, but also in providing top quality career guidance and assistance in the, often daunting, job search. Job forums are organised by the career centre, where companies present themselves and recruit on our campus. Apart from this, the careers centre also offers a wide range of other career services, from CV and assessment centre workshops, to personal career guidance, advice, and lists of potential job offers. I have found this service particularly useful and of a top class standard.
