I enjoyed the fact that my course allowed me to pick modules from economics as well as business, allowing me to continue to increase my knowledge and passion for economics but also allowing me to gain the skills I would need for the working world.

I didn’t do a placement, but I did a summer internship in the finance sector at Royal Dutch Shell Plc in Canary Wharf, London. This experience taught me to organise my time better as I had an individual project to complete to pass my assessment but also had various tasks given to me to complete by my manager and attend team meetings.
