The Bath MScs in Finance


Meet our graduates


Ginevra Corti MSc in Accounting and Finance graduate, now working at Swiss Re as Associate, Casualty Products


studies in Business Management at Bocconi University in Milan, I had the opportunity of taking part in two exchange programmes, one in Shanghai and the other in Vienna, where I met and worked with students of diverse nationalities. Once I graduated, I decided to continue my studies with two goals in mind: to deepen my knowledge of finance and to study in a truly international environment.


“ During my undergraduate


By studying the MSc in Accounting and Finance at the University of Bath I achieved both goals.


The flexible structure of the MSc programme allowed me to focus on the areas I was most interested in. In particular, the quantitative content learnt on the course has proven very helpful in my present job at Swiss Re, the world’s largest reinsurer.


At Bath I studied with bright and stimulating people from around the world. It was a very enriching experience, not only because it has helped me develop my interpersonal communication skills, but also because it has allowed me to establish long-lasting, friendly relationships with people living in many different countries. I continue to see some of these friends quite regularly in London, where we are now working.


Last but not least, I had the opportunity of spending a year in a quiet and beautiful, historical town such as Bath, the most pleasant place one can envisage to carry out both study and after- study activities.
