“I thought the Bachelor of Finance was quite relevant to skills I wanted to learn. I wanted to get into trading, understand more of mergers and acquisitions and how to value companies. I also want to get into banking, so a Finance degree was sort of like a clear way in.” – James Batchelor (Bachelor of Finance)
