Corrado Giulietti (34) After studying for his first degree and working for a few years in industry, Corrado realised that in order to increase his future career options he needed to invest further in his education. After careful consideration, he chose Southampton for his MSc and later his PhD in economics because of its leading position in the UK. “The MSc provided me with knowledge of many aspects of economics, broadening my familiarity with theoretical models, and providing me with advanced tools for econometric analysis. I am happy with my choice of university. I was able to make new friends, live with students from different cultures and enjoy a wide range of university events.”
