STUDENT'S TESTIMONIAL

	I joined investment banking about 10 years ago, i joined as a mid career executive and so i didn’t go through the typical graduate entry training, so what i know about my business is what i basically picked it up on my own , so i believe this is the right time to pick up a formal education in finance. There were a couple of different programmes that were offered in Singapore, but what I wanted was short duration course that is very specialized in specifically what I needed to know. I get a chance to meet people who don’t come from the same background, in my cohort, i have course mates from marine trading, insurance business, a couple of university lecturers, it’s a chance to actually see the world from quite a different point of view.
		Mr John Honeyman Executive Director, JP Morgan, Asian Equities EMsc Finance Cohort 8
	If you take the present value of my compensation since graduating from Baruch and divide it by the cost of my education, the value proposition of a Baruch education is clear. My contribution to the college cannot even make a dent in everything Baruch has done for me.
		Keith Anzel, Managing Director Citigroup Global Corporate and Investment Bank
	An excellent course for busy professionals who intend to pursue a post graduate degree in Finance. Concise and practical, the EMSc in Finance covers a wide range of foundation topics as well as emerging financial issues & risks using latest tools & techniques delivered by top class lecturers and facilitators”
		Mr Victor Ngo, CPA CISA MBA Senior Vice President, Internal Audit United Overseas Bank, Singapore
