When I was working in Hong Kong I heard a lot about the reputation of WBS as a serious, tough school at which to get a finance degree. As the top-ranked school for my subject, it was my first choice.
The course was serious and practical with high expectations of every student. It gave me practical, insightful, forward-looking training, and enhanced my capacity to investigate and learn about the market in the real world. I'd recommend WBS one hundred per cent.
