For me, the MSc did far more than expand my knowledge. It reshaped my perspective, strengthened my analytical confidence, and aligned me more deeply with the mission of financial stability and effective regulation. It was - and continues to be - a truly transformational journey. Completing the MSc has had a profound impact on my work and professional identity. As I progressed through the MSc, I found that every module was highly relevant and immediately applicable, each one adding depth and clarity to my understanding of central banking, financial regulation, and systemic risk. The programme built a cohesive foundation that has continued to support and elevate my work long after graduation.
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
Receiving the bursary was instrumental. It eased the financial burden of undertaking postgraduate study while
working full time and gave me the freedom to focus on learning and engagement. It was more than financial assistance – it was a vote of confidence in my professional potential and motivation to excel.” Merina Phiri Ndumba MSc in Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation, Senior Analyst – Macroprudential Statistics and Data Support in the Financial Stability Department at the Bank of Zambia.
