Scandinavian Programme 2008

I would recommend all students to spend a semester or more at Queen Mary, University of London if they have the opportunity. I spent one semester at Queen Mary in autumn 2008, and I consider my time at Queen Mary as one of the most interesting things I've done. Queen Mary offers a great opportunity to learn about Banking and Finance law, with professors and a specialist environment on these subjects that you will rarely find anywhere else. The professors are very inspiring lecturers, as well as specialists in their fields. The courses are very relevant to any later job within banking and finance. In addition to the special competence of the lecturers at Queen Mary, University of London within banking and finance law, Queen Mary also prepares for the students to get to know each other and have a great time in London. At the Scandinavian Programme, Queen Mary made us a great reception by making different kinds of outings the first two weeks of our stay, which made us all make new friends as well as getting to know the city. Now that I have finished my law degree, I have moved to Oslo to work for The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (FSA).
