Diploma in Financial Strategy
United Kingdom
Finance
2016
Just under a month since concluding the Oxford Diploma in Financial Strategy, there has now been time to reflect on a whirlwind thirteen months. It hardly seems possible that this time last year I was revising hard for the strategy paper. By the end of the course I had distinctly improved at avoiding the last-minute rush!
The project, in returning to an area of interest, brought a very satisfactory end to the course and a piece of work I could confidently present internally but with trepidation to the exacting Oxford markers! Motivation included the frequent WhatsApp messages from classmates – we had a great class right to the end.
I have studied a lot in my career. In my experience it is rare to find a course where over 50 per cent was relevant to daily work – here I estimate 75.
So to the Class of 2016/2017, thank you. To the Class of 2017/2018, good luck with the strategy paper. And to the prospective Class of 2018/2019, apply!
