Why did you decide to join the Master of Management Analytics program?
I came from a finance undergraduate background, hoping to further enhance my technical and quantitative skills and kick-start my career in risk management through an intensive master's program. Therefore, I was seeking a program that integrates advanced finance curricula with practical applications of industry-focused technical skills, such as quantitative modelling and machine learning. The MFRM program is an ideal choice for me, as it combines technology and finance.

Having several co-op experiences during undergraduate, I gradually found out the importance of applying what you learned into real practices. Hands-on industry projects and case competitions are best opportunities to enhance technical skills and build up professional networks.
