QUMMIF Investment Club – Update & Upcoming Events
This year began completely differently, and more promising, for QUMMIF Investment Club, since compared to last year the club experienced an increase of interest, and thus members, of approximately 200 per cent. The first few weeks were dedicated in shorting out the asset sectors members and positions as well as delegating responsibilities within the Club, due to the large number of interested participants.
Olga Wolowiec, MSc Finance Alumna
While searching for a graduate degree I looked for a school that offered a world class curriculum, located in an international metropolis. I had a pretty clear idea of what I was expecting and Queen Mary's reputation and location made it an easy choice. The University has recently become a member of the Russell Group – the group of 24 leading UK universities, what has proved Queen Mary to be the good selection. In addition, the urban location in the heart of the U.K. capital offers the vibrant lifestyle of a Londoner, exceptional links with employers and a truly multi-cultural perspective.
SEF Undergraduates get Professional Mentors
This year the Careers Centre worked with a leading Investment Management firm, Blackrock, to set up a mentoring scheme for undergraduates from a range of universities. Four individuals from SEF gained a place on the scheme, which involved taking part in the Spring Insight week and meeting 1-2-1 with professionals working at Blackrock. Ahmed Yaqoob talks about his experiences on the scheme:
A Day in the Life of Queen Mary
The past year has been especially exciting for us – we joined the Russell Group of leading UK universities, testament to our enduring excellence in research and teaching; we were at the centre of this summer’s memorable sporting and cultural events; and we also celebrated the 125th anniversary of the People’s Palace.

Student Helpers and Ambassadors
They play an important role in supporting the School carrying out its various events and activities. They are the student helpers and ambassadors! This year more than 20 year 2 and 3 students volunteered to become helpers and ambassadors. They provided great support during induction and in the smooth running of the guest speaker’s lecture delivered by Professor Lord Richard Layard. The School always welcomes new helpers and if you are interested in becoming one just contact Agatha Jones (a.m.jones@qmul.ac.uk) to express your interest.
