00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:03.650
I was interested in studying
accounting and finance

00:00:03.650 --> 00:00:06.860
because it was best
aligned with the subjects

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:08.690
I studied at a-levels.

00:00:08.690 --> 00:00:13.950
It goes into the depth of
businesses, organizations,

00:00:13.950 --> 00:00:14.990
how they run.

00:00:14.990 --> 00:00:17.550
It's very broad, so it
is a numerate degree,

00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:22.610
but it is also very focused
on the subjective side.

00:00:22.610 --> 00:00:24.650
You can make your own
judgments, and as long

00:00:24.650 --> 00:00:27.530
as you can back them up and
you're taught how to do this,

00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:29.510
then you're on the right track.

00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:31.730
It's well mixed where
the exams are for you

00:00:31.730 --> 00:00:33.230
or whether essays are for you.

00:00:33.230 --> 00:00:36.440
It allows you to decide where
your strengths are basically,

00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:39.080
and then you can
progress from there.

00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:41.000
The course is quite rigorous.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.980
You have a lot on your plate.

00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:44.960
As somebody that's trying
to go into finance,

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.710
that is something I'm
going to face a lot.

00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:48.060
A lot of change.

00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:51.090
A lot of different people that
I have to communicate with,

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:55.190
so that has definitely prepared
me for the work involved.

00:00:55.190 --> 00:00:57.140
There's the pictures
on the walls,

00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:59.040
the inspirational quotes.

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.680
The first time I
came here, this is

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:04.340
what sold Warwick to me
because it helps you to think

00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:05.785
and it inspires you.

00:01:05.785 --> 00:01:07.910
I remember just looking on
the wall and I was like,

00:01:07.910 --> 00:01:09.950
oh that's really
relatable right now.

00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.890
And just being in that kind of
environment does impact the way

00:01:12.890 --> 00:01:17.750
you learn and the way you're
open to learning and to change.

00:01:17.750 --> 00:01:20.960
There is a wide range
of societies and things

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:22.200
to do on campus.

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.470
I'm part of South
society, and I'm

00:01:24.470 --> 00:01:26.810
part of African
Caribbean society.

00:01:26.810 --> 00:01:29.810
So I have met a lot of people
from different countries,

00:01:29.810 --> 00:01:31.220
different backgrounds.

00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:33.740
Being able to be around
like minded people

00:01:33.740 --> 00:01:38.970
has aided in my success
even in my degree as well.

00:01:38.970 --> 00:01:41.910
I'm glad I started at Warwick
Business School because

00:01:41.910 --> 00:01:44.130
of the opportunities
that it has presented

00:01:44.130 --> 00:01:48.390
for me, both for my social
life as well as for my career

00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:49.470
progress.

00:01:49.470 --> 00:01:51.750
I don't think I could
have got the same anywhere

00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:55.800
else because the main thing
that I learned is to be open

00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:57.600
and to be willing to learn.

00:01:57.600 --> 00:01:59.270
And if I had not
learned that then I

00:01:59.270 --> 00:02:01.770
don't think I would have had
the opportunities that I've had

00:02:01.770 --> 00:02:04.710
so far or been able to
take on the opportunities

00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:06.920
that are going to
come in the future.
