Bloomberg Assessment Tests
The School recently hosted a series of Bloomberg Assessment Tests, which provided our students with the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills to thousands of firms.

Following a successful bid to the College's 'Student Enhancement Investment Fund', the School is in the process of developing a web-based software that will provide students with information about the various types of careers that graduates in economics, finance and management can pursue at the end of their studies. The software will also allow students to understand the specific skills required by each career and students will be able to search for the careers that best suit their skills. The software will also include a number of video interviews with alumni.
