Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
My name is Aristotelis, and I am currently working as an associate at a multinational company in the finance sector.

My undergraduate degree in economics meant studying finance and investment management at postgraduate level was a natural choice, given my interest in financial markets.
Why did you choose the University of Liverpool for your studies?
My background in economics helped me realise my interest in investments as well as the broader world of finance. The ability to pursue a master’s degree at such a prestigious university – 100% online and part-time – was a game-changer for me, since I also have a full-time professional role.

I would say it is a great solution if you are working and want to study at a top tier university. The programme offers everything a student might need despite being delivered 100% online.
How have you applied the business skills you have learned in your professional role?
This master’s programme was the perfect next step towards a career in the financial sector. The design of the programme’s curriculum is inspired by the CFA Level 1 exams, which was an amazing addition. The content contained all the key subjects that a contemporary finance professional needs to know.
Finally, what are your career aspirations for the future?
The online Finance and Investment Management MSc programme has allowed me to progress as both an individual and a finance professional, providing me with the skills to take my finance career forward.
