Dr Danielle Lyssimachou Associate Professor, Course Director
Cass Business School gave me opportunities to learn from lecturers with many years of experience in the financial sector. The degree equipped me with great skills and academic knowledge to secure a placement year in Goldman Sachs. The industry experience was very insightful and I enjoyed working in a dynamic environment that pushed me to strive for excellence in everything I did. Upon returning to my final year, I was offered a full-time Analyst role in Goldman Sachs and I am very grateful for the skills and knowledge developed throughout my undergraduate days at Cass that have contributed to my career path.
