  Consult your senior lecturer Vincent Seet for advice lah.

  He was also a UOL graduate in Banking and Finance too.

  He will gladly advise on the modules to take to become an investment banker.

  If you want to be an investment banker, you might need additional qualifications like the CFA to make you stand out.

   

  Seriously, just a basic banking degree is nothing these days.

  My friend grad from UOL Banking and Finance, started her first job in call centre.

   

  I know of CFA grads selling insurance.

  If possible, get as many additional qualifications as you can - ACCA, MBA, CFA, FRM, CAIA, PRM, PhD, SOA.

   

  Yes, I know taking more of these certifications means you will have no life for the next few years, but trust me, they will help.
