Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

I worked with other programme attendees on various projects related to the work MS employees undertake on a daily basis, such as trading games and pitching ideas. I also networked with many MS employees, learning more about their roles and the bank.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Very interesting, allowing me to gain a greater knowledge into the skills required for specific divisions.
