Aspiring to high office in central banking in my country, I seized the first opportunity to study the MSc Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation jointly conducted by the Bank of England and Warwick Business School. I chose to study the course to hone, consolidate and advance my knowledge, skills and competencies as a central banker and also to gain fluency in central banking.
I chose to study this course as I had joined the Bank of Zambia in 2019, after 15 years of working as an accountant. The first module which was Comparative Central Banking really opened my mind to the similarities and differences in central bank operations and structures. The best part of the course being so relevant is that I can immediately relate and apply what I have learnt to my job. The course structure is one that has been set up with industry professionals in mind and offers a lot of flexibility. I can work at my own pace in completing the necessary lessons and it also guides me to a lot of further reading in order to augment what has been taught. The bonus of this course is the interaction and networking we have with the other students from all over the world. The discussions with my peers on module lessons and our different country experiences has been invaluable. I believe this course will certainly help me to achieve my future career ambitions as it will develop my knowledge and skills in monetary policy, financial stability as well as financial regulation which is the perfect mix for career aspirations on the operations side of central banking. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone in central banking who wishes to enhance their skill base and fully understand the operations of a central bank.
Already, I am able to see the value of the teaching on this course because it has helped to clarify the foundations of some of the things that I already partly knew, but also to flesh the ideas and concepts out fully and even start to see the direction of their future development. I believe that central banking is a unique endeavour, requiring a multidisciplinary set of skills and body of knowledge, that may not be properly acquired other than through a deliberate programme of training. No longer is it adequate to simply be an economist, or finance expert, or lawyer, or administrator, to be a world-class central banker because central banking has evolved in such a way that general skills or otherwise transferable skills might not suffice. As such, I would recommend
studying for the MSc Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation to everyone aspiring for a career in central banking and closely related fields.

The programme initially intrigued me with the selection of modules and the collaboration behind it (academics from Warwick Business School and policy
experts from the Bank of England). The course material is very concentrated and diverse (reading lists, summarised material and great interviews with remarkable experts and leaders from the financial world). The course is taught via the my.wbs online learning platform, which is a great learning facility. With this platform, I feel like I have an admin who does all the organising in my place. It is simple, functional and at the same time very comprehensive and well-structured. The learning programme is flexible and I can freely organise my learning time, although I found it useful to
follow the general structure of the module, which presumes learning a lesson per week in a relaxed pace. I can already see how this course enriches my legal skills and I look forward to being a complete central banker, who easily shifts from the legal expert to the economic expert shoes. I cannot refrain from continuously telling my colleagues and friends about the amazing experience with this programme, and I would recommend the programme to anyone who works or is interested to work in the financial world.
