A number of the island’s largest financial services employers will be attending Jersey International Business School’s Degree Open Evening on Thursday 26 April 2018.
The event takes place at Jersey International Business School’s University Centre at the Weighbridge at 17:30. Students and their parents are invited to learn more about the two-year BSc (Hons) International Financial Services degree. The degree is studied on Island and awarded by the University of Buckingham, one of the UK’s top-ranking universities and currently ranked number one for teaching quality.
Applications to start the degree this October are still being accepted by Jersey International Business School so the open evening will be of particular interest to students in Year 13 who are still considering their Higher Education options as well as those in Year 12. The degree may also appeal to more mature students who are considering a career change.
A key and unique feature of the degree is the opportunity to benefit from paid industry work experience through the Undergraduate Employment Programme (UGEP). With a choice of some of the world’s leading financial organisations, degree students are able to translate the theory of their degree into practice. Organisations that support the programme include Barclays, Link Asset Services, First Names Group, UBS, Sanne and Crestbridge. The programme continues throughout the whole two years of the degree.
The open evening will be a chance to meet some of these Undergraduate Employment Programme partners, as well as talk to the faculty and past and current students about the content and structure of the degree.
Emma Boustouler, degree programme director, said:
“Should I study for a degree or should I get a job? Ask any Year 13 student and the thought of both will likely be in their minds.
The benefit of the degree at Jersey International Business School is that students can get the best from both. They can complete a full degree in just two years, while also gaining practical, real-world industry experience in a financial services organisation.
The open evening will be supported by our partners from the Undergraduate Employment Programme. The aim of the evening is to showcase the degree and student life at the University Centre, to help students making that all-important decision about what will best suit their long-term interests.”
The Degree Open Evening takes place at Jersey International Business School on Thursday 26 April at 17:30, and entry is free for students and parents. Students can find out more about the degree on www.studyinjersey.co.uk
