Two exceptional ICMA Centre graduates receive Academic Achievement Award.

Two of the ICMA Centre's high flying students received the ICMA Centres' Academic Achievement Award for the highest academic results for each of the MSc and BSc years.

Satchit Sagade, who graduated with Distinction from the MSc International Securities, Investment and Banking, and Daniel Osborn on the BSc International Securities and Investment Banking, both received the £500 prize for achieving the highest grades for their corresponding degrees.

There was also an added reason for celebration and recognition as Satchit not only gained the highest grade out of all those in his year, but also the highest ever seen on record from an ICMA Centre MSc student.

Satchit said of his winning the award ?I am really delighted to receive this award. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past 9 months at the ICMA Centre and I think coming here for my MSc has been one of the best decisions of my life. I would like to thank all the professors, researchers and the support staff for this."

The pair were awarded the prizes at the ICMA Centre's Graduation on 2nd July 2009.

The financial crisis - why students should still choose finance

12 February 2009
For those people considering going to university this year at MSc level, this financial crisis will be the first they have experienced. Yet financial crises happen every ten or twenty years. What is different this time is the severity of the crisis ? the likes of which no trader in the City has ever seen before. This article first outlines the causes of the crisis and then asks whether students should steer clear of finance, accounting and economics as subject disciplines and potential careers, until the crisis has receded? I argue that the clear answer is ?no".
