Banking and Finance MSc: What our students say

Student profiles

Don't just take our word for it – here's what some of our current and recent students say about what it's like to study at Kingston.

Name: Paresh Tank
Course: Banking and Finance MSc

"As an auditor for Chokshi and Chokshi, Chartered Accountants, I had experienced the operations and workings of private, public and foreign banks from the other side. The need to learn about this complex sector and its business in detail required me to do an additional course. This brought me to Kingston University's Banking and Finance MSc.

The best part of the course for me is that tutors don't treat you as a student but as a colleague, which allowed me personally to prosper in my own way. The course is designed to incorporate almost all the key areas of banking from basics like retail operations to the complex procedures of investment banking."
