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.
