Anyone who has ever read Sir Richard Branson’s book, Business Laid Bare, would easily agree that the book offers a very insightful analysis of how to effectively run businesses and manage investment portfolios. The moment I read the book, I made up my mind that I would venture into the financial sector as my profession.
Richard Branson highlights very core investment and financial issues in the book that I felt offer fundamental lessons for any budding investor. This book, together with Kiyosaki’s, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, inspired me to venture into the world of finance and live my dream of becoming a consultant in finance and investment management.
The Seattle University has so far exposed me to the world of investment and finance dynamics. My enrolment into the college has so far modelled me into a budding professional. This is attributed to their endless mentorship and exposure of the students. However, my desire to stay ahead of the pack and achieve the best of my potential has inspired me to apply for an MSc programme in finance at Cass school of business – London.
Located in a serene environment conducive for learning, Cass business school stands out in London as an academic centre for excellence in business and managerial courses. The proximity of the college to London’s financial hub exposes learners to practical and expository learning that I intend to take advantage of throughout my program
In the recent past, the institution rolled out a mentorship program and an elaborate internship program with relevant organisations and institutions with universally acclaimed reputations. As a budding student of finance, I see an opportunity of practically applying my classroom knowledge during the course of my study at the institution. Relevant experience is needed in the financial sector and I believe such programs offered in the institution shall give me the mandatory apprenticeship towards achieving my dream career objective and goals. Moreover, it is my intention to fully take advantage of the scholarship programs offered in the institution to help in financing my education especially the threadneedle scholarship award program instituted by one of the leading business and investment honchos in London
The dynamics of the financial and investment sector need widespread networking with the relevant experts. The global financial issues therefore demand that one is not entirely limited to knowledge in the local cycles but rather knowledge from a far too. This therefore calls for thorough networking with many other students to learn from them and share ideas. Since Cass business school admits students from all over the globe, I intend to make meaningful contacts and share objective ideas various financial issues.
I fully trust that the programme would prop my undergraduate knowledge to expose me further to a world of finance and investment and adequately equip me with the required skills required in financial analysis and management of investment portfolios. It is therefore my hope that Cass will accept my application to be part of the next generation of financial gurus. I intend to use my skills to serve humanity in the best way I can and propel my country to a whole new level in finance and investment.
