When I transitioned from the investment industry to working at a central bank, I realised that there was a distinct “language of central banking” that I needed to grasp quickly. The Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation qualifications at Warwick Business School (WBS) offered the perfect opportunity to bridge that gap, as the curriculum was highly relevant to my day-to-day work. The bursary, along with support from my employer, who strongly values employee development, made it possible for me to seize this opportunity. Without this crucial financial support, I would not have been able to enrol in the programme and enhance my knowledge in such a meaningful way. One of the best aspects of the programme was the ability to access the expertise and insights of experienced lecturers while studying from the other side of the world. This format allowed me to avoid the significant time and financial costs associated with international travel. It allowed me to maintain my work-life balance while continuing my education. The programme has already had a direct impact on my career, enabling me to engage more confidently and meaningfully in technical conversations at work. I would highly recommend this programme to any student, particularly those from emerging markets like myself. If you’re a relatively new employee of a central bank, this course is an excellent way to accelerate your learning.” Naweed Hoosenmia Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation qualifications participant
I have broadened my knowledge in financial regulation, supervision, and central banking. The knowledge and skills gained gave me the confidence to apply my financial regulation outside my jurisdiction. The programme has shaped the direction of my financial regulation career in a big way, helping me to secure a new role. The online delivery of the modules has been very effective - there’s a great deal of flexibility in completing each module. The delivery of the modules was done by highly qualified academics coupled by quality reference materials and the integration of current and emerging matters/cases into the lessons and life experiences from experts who work in central banking and financial sector bodies globally. I would and continue to recommend the course to anyone who is in the financial sector, financial regulation, and central banking as the value one gains from studying it is immeasurable. The online delivery is seamless and suitable for professionals with busy schedules.”
