Invitation to Financial Planning Speed Networking Event
Bradford University School of Management
Wednesday 29 February 2012, 2pm - 6pm
Why come?
- Find out about our Financial Planning Degree, launched in response to meet the changes in the market place from the RDR
- Pitch for a student to work for you over summer to ensure you are at the forefront of securing market ready graduates of the future
- Meet our students who are keen to explore a career with an IFA; some of whom will graduate with a BSc (Hons) in Financial Planning, a compulsory work experience year and will be exempt from 5 of the 6 units of the CII Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning.
What the sector is saying about us?
Kath McKenna, Operations Manager and Chartered Financial Planner at Pearson Jones plc, who took two interns summer 2011, says: “Pearson Jones feel this degree will have a big impact on the financial services sector in the West Yorkshire area. The fact that students will exit the course and be almost fully qualified to give financial advice will give anyone wishing to enter this industry a massive boost.”
Caspar Bartington, Relationship Education Manager at CII, “ We are excited about the growth of Bradford’s BSc (Hons) in Financial Planning, as a way for graduates to hit the ground running in financial advice, thanks to the placements, the sandwich year and the significant CII Diploma exemptions the degree offers”.
