"Since I wanted to
work in the UK, I thought that it would be good to have a degree from
a top UK business school. Based on the ranking from the Financial
Times, I picked five top schools offering masters in finance. Next,
I did research on these five schools and I found that Bradford was
the best choice for me, as it offers excellent value for money, and
the cost of living in Bradford is also very reasonable. Also, the
School is recognised by the UK business community, and it is quite
easy for me to get to London," Miloslav explained.
"I was looking for a course which would give me a bit of a general business background and a deep knowledge of finance. The MA at Bradford fits that perfectly.
"I have had a great time at the School of Management. I particularly enjoy the tightly knit community, and it is so nice when you are on the campus and you know almost all of the students and teachers as well. I also like the small sized tutorial groups which are very good for learning and interaction with the tutor. The lecturers are very friendly and I believe that I will stay in touch with some of them even after finishing the course.
"Although I have travelled a lot and have lived in the Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark and the UK, I was still surprised about the number of nationalities on my course. I find it excellent. To me learning is not just about reading books and writing assignments, but also about getting to know new people, their cultures and their points of view. Moreover, after completing this course I will have contacts from all over the world.
"I would like to find a job either in management consulting or in investment banking, preferably in London. Even though I already had a master before coming to Bradford, I wasn't sure whether my academic knowledge and my level of English were good enough to find a job in the UK. Now, with the masters from the Bradford School of Management I am very positive that I will find a good job in the area I am interested in. I learnt not only the theory but also how to apply it in practice. In addition, my English is now considerably better than before.
"I would advise prospective students to the course to join the Bradford University Finance and Investment Society (www.fisbu.co.uk). I and a few friends of mine set up this society for students interested in finance and banking. Through an active engagement in the Society you will get to know important people and learn a lot about real business life.
"Also, buy a bicycle! Bradford is a very bicycle- friendly city."

Comments
"I found it a great place to live
and study, it has a friendly environment, and has all the facilities
that are suitable for student life.
"My course offers a wide range of topics and offers the chance to select the subjects that suit my needs. Also, the degree itself will help me to work in any part of the world.
"Apart from knowledge, the major experience that I have gained from the course so far is the sprit of group work and co-operation. There are many students from different backgrounds around the world and I have not only enjoyed working with a mixture of people, but also benefited from their friendships and knowledge transfer.
"The course has given me lots of new ideas about my future working life. There are many practical issues in the course which facilitate my future idea of establishing a financial consultancy service with some colleagues from the same course.
"Bradford School of Management is known for high standards both in teaching quality and programme design. The courses that it offers, especially the one I am on, meet student expectations. The choices it provides enhance students' preferences and performance in gaining knowledge. The School has a unique way of teaching. The lecturers interact with student on a frequent basis to help build up their analytical and innovation skills."

Comments
"The programme offers
a wide range of topics and students have the chance to customise the
course to their own needs. The biggest advantages, apart from the
pure knowledge transfer, are aspects such as the training in group
work and presentation. There are lots of students from different backgrounds
and I have really enjoyed working with a mixture of people. The Bradford
MA has given me lots of new ideas about my future working life. The
course is very practical, which makes it valuable, and the degree
itself is useful for working within an international context."
