My Birmingham Dubai experience

The best things about my course were the comprehensive curriculum, practical learning opportunities, and exposure to real-world case studies, which enhanced my analytical and problem-solving skills while preparing me for my career.

My achievements

My biggest achievement during my course was successfully completing my master's thesis on "Comprehensive Risk and Return Analysis: Evaluating the Investment Potential of Tech Sector U.S. Public Companies."

This project allowed me to apply financial analysis, risk assessment, and investment evaluation techniques, strengthening my research and analytical skills while preparing me for real-world financial decision-making.

My journey from Birmingham Dubai

The learning experience from my course has broadened my international perspective, enhanced my logical thinking and problem-solving skills, and expanded my network.

The University’s support services provided valuable career guidance, networking opportunities, and skill development resources, which helped me better prepare for my career.

I am currently working as a finance business partner at Metaworld Consulting. A typical day in this role involves assisting client companies in conducting business in the UAE and providing them with guidance on financial and tax-related matters.

Advice for students

My top tips for students graduating today are to keep learning, actively network, gain practical experience, be adaptable, and stay resilient in the face of challenges.
