Cass Business School MSc students have had the opportunity to gain firsthand experience of what life is really like at the heart of financial giant Citi. This summer the School partnered with the firm for the first time to teach the elective module “Raising Equity Capital”

The ten best performing students on the course, which started in May, had the opportunity to take part in an assessment centre from which two students were selected for a six-week summer internship with the ECM team at Citi.

The elective aims to give students a through understanding of the challenges of raising equity capital, ranging from the ins and outs of IPOs, season equity offerings, and rights issues.

This summer It was led by Mario Levis, Cass Professor of Finance, alongside Senior Managing Directors from Citi’s Equity Capital Markets Origination (ECM) Team, and consists of six three-hour sessions.

With internship’s with Citi’s ECM team up for grabs at the end of the elective, the students had plenty of motivation to work hard, which was just as well as, in addition to the class, they had to devote time to individual and group study, plus class presentations on a variety of case studies. With both professors and practitioners watching, presentations must have been a more than usually nerve-wracking.

Professor Levis praised the elective, describing it as, “An extremely exciting development for Cass. Our students had access to some of the world’s leading practitioners in capital markets thanks to Citi.” For students, it represented a unique and ground-breaking opportunity to really understand what goes on in the trading floor.

Citi’s regional Graduate Development Manager Yannis Batsakoutsas said that the module showcased Citi’s key principles: "Common Purpose, Responsible Finance, Ingenuity and Leadership.”

Best Journalism school in Europe

When I first stepped onto the campus of City, University of London, I knew I was in for a ride - and not just on the Tube! With its vibrant energy and an impressive repertoire of programs, City U became my home away from home. The Journalism program was kind of a big deal. Rumour was that we were the best in Europe! The lecturers were not just experts in their field; they’re practically journalistic royalty. They were invested, passionate, and had a knack for turning the most flat press release into a riveting news story. With their guidance, I’ve learned to navigate the chaotic world of media like a pro. The campus was a melting pot of every culture, being that we had such a diverse international crowd. Being in the heart of London, I had the world at my fingertips - there was always a new corner to explore, a hidden gem of a cafe to discover, or a street performer! City, University of London wasn't just a university; it was a chapter in my life story that I’ll never forget.

Learning environment

The teacher-learner ration is manageable, giving each learner a chance to gain personal attention. It is also easier following up on the progress of a student, as the numbers per class is not large. the conducive environment for learning includes clean classes, standard desks, world class instructional facilities and the opportunity to engage lecturers even after their sessions. The team spirit at City is above board, with learners getting chance to learn both from instructors and colleagues. This is the university of choice; the place to be.

The focus on talents and gifts even within the learning environment makes it possible for learners to achieve the best of their potential, and this has worked to the advantage of those that have schooled at City, University of London

Classes

The diversity at City University facilitates interactions and is a direction toward the unity of the world. The classes are well built to match the number and needs of all students regardless of the elements of diversity that set people apart. The use of technology in delivery makes learning even more interesting and achievable. At City University there is no distinction pegged on the issues that make people unique.

The best university I’ve been to

The campus and the people I've met have made it a wonderful experience. I was reared in a small town with a graduating class of only 88 individuals, so moving to City University was a huge adjustment for me. My dorm has more residents than my whole high school combined! I enjoy the atmosphere here, and everyone is so friendly. Outstanding academic options and a stunning campus. Really great from beginning to end. The educators genuinely love what they do, and the students are ready to learn. On or around college, there is always something to do with friends, and the social scene is particularly warm.

Economics and Politics

Incredibly amazing university, the way they polish students and help them boost their morale and think intellectually is worthwhile. Many universities have international partnerships to allow exchanges between their students. The most obvious subjects for these opportunities would be those that involve languages, and the study of people and places.
