Testimonial

“Studying Commerce has allowed me to gain a deeper knowledge of business and identify special areas of interest to me. By studying in the Quinn School, I was able to take part in case competitions for KPMG and the Financial Times and represent the school in Washington as part of an exchange programme with Howard University. I also completed internships with KPMG, Microsoft and TikTok, which has allowed me to apply what I have learned in the classroom into real-world scenarios. I would recommend Commerce to anyone that wants to broaden their knowledge of business while getting hands-on experience that can propel them beyond their undergraduate degree.Studying Commerce has allowed me to gain a deeper knowledge of business and identify special areas of interest to me.
