Upon graduating, Alex was selected to work as a technical analyst for Credit Suisse on their graduate training programme.


I chose Essex based on the rankings of the School and because I was very impressed with the open day I attended.


All the staff were extremely friendly and approachable and the course offered me a chance to study modules that complemented my interests.

My favourite part of the course had to be my final-year project. It gave me so much scope to work on topics that interested me, covering areas such as project


management, report writing, practical work and presentations. The project was such an achievement and proved a great asset to discuss in interviews. It also gave me a great deal of confidence and specifically helped me in attaining my current position at Credit Suisse.


I spent my free time taking advantage of the sports clubs that Essex had to offer. I was a member of the jiu-jitsu, squash and pool clubs over the three years and met many of my friends there.


Looking back, Freshers’ Week has to be my favourite memory as it was such an exciting period. It’s just a shame it was all over too quickly! I loved my experience at Essex and would not change it for anything. I learnt so much about myself as well as gaining a brilliant, first-class degree!
