ţţ×ÊÔ´

During my time at ţţ×ÊÔ´, I have definitely grown up! During my first year, I moved into student halls – I met a lot of new people from different courses so I was up to date with what people from other degrees were up to, which was really great. I also managed to find a job really quickly during my first year through the careers website. I was employed as a nanny/tutor by a lovely family and stayed with them for over a year.

ţţ×ÊÔ´ing economics with econometrics and having work experience as a maths/physics tutor allowed me to seek other employment as well. In my second year, I was hired by Starling Bank – a mobile bank with HQs in the City (to work in the City was always my biggest dream!).

I also took part in a mentorship programme that was shared with us through one of the faculty staff at ţţ×ÊÔ´. It was for people from diverse backgrounds. We were matched with employees of Skanska and had goals to achieve throughout the duration of the programme. In February this year, I was contacted by a tech company in Cambridge who were looking for analysts. I had my interview in March and signed my contract a couple of weeks later! I started working at Techspert just after my third-year exams and within a week my position changed to associate.

ţţ×ÊÔ´ has given me the confidence and tools to seek new employment. I am very lucky to have a fantastic job that I love. I really struggled financially when I first moved to London and thanks to ţţ×ÊÔ´, I found a job within a month. Now, in two weeks I am finalising my first house purchase!
