Hi, I'm Ahmed!
I’m a first-year BSc Accounting and Finance student at SOAS. I chose SOAS because of its unique global perspective, diverse community, and strong emphasis on understanding finance in an international and real-world context. The course is both challenging and rewarding, offering a great mix of technical skills and critical thinking.
Beyond my studies, I have a strong background in teaching and mentoring. I’ve spent the past three years leading the 11 Plus department at a tuition center, successfully guiding students through their exams. This experience has strengthened my communication and leadership skills, which I now bring into my university life.
I’m passionate about exploring the intersections of finance, business, and global development, and I hope to qualify as a Chartered Accountant in the future. Outside of academics, I enjoy engaging in student-led initiatives and networking with like-minded individuals.
If you have any questions about studying Accounting and Finance at SOAS, student life, or anything else, feel free to reach out I’d love to help!

My future career plans are centered on building a strong foundation in accounting and finance, with a key goal of attaining the ACCA certification to enhance my expertise in global financial standards. As someone born and raised in the UAE with Filipino roots, I have had the privilege of a multicultural upbringing that has shaped my worldview. My positive experience as an international student further broadened my horizons, helping me develop adaptability and resilience—qualities that I will carry into my career. In addition to my professional ambitions, I also have a deep passion for baking, which allows me to blend creativity with precision, much like in finance.

Accounting and Finance
My name is Hanna and I study Bsc (Hons) Accounting and Finance at Man Met. Currently finished 2nd year and have started a placement year at a construction company’s finance sector.
My background is studying Biology, Psychology and Biology at A-Levels and I decided I wanted to pursue something different which I’ve always been intrigued by which was Accounting and Finance. Coming to Manchester Metropolitan has opened up so many opportunities for me as a result.
In my second year, I was President and Founder of the Accounting Society so I know great ways to get involved both academically and socially with your course mates!
On the side, I loved playing sports such as Netball, Cricket and Basketball! One of my other hobbies is also Content Creation and being as creative as possible!
Coming to University can be daunting but talking to others can help ease the nerves. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have!

Kristine
University of Warwick
Accounting and Finance (BSc)
I am an open-minded and curious individual who thrives on exploring new experiences, ideas, and perspectives. Whether it’s immersing myself in different cultures, learning new skills, or pushing personal boundaries, I embrace challenges with enthusiasm and adaptability. My interests are diverse, spanning finance, art, theater, music, and adventure sports, reflecting my desire to engage with both analytical and creative disciplines. I find excitement in intellectual discussions, hands-on experiences, and deep dives into niche topics that broaden my understanding of the world. Always eager to step out of my comfort zone, I believe growth comes from experiencing the unfamiliar. From learning a new language to experimenting with different artistic styles or engaging in high-intensity activities like skydiving, I approach life with a mix of ambition, curiosity, and a constant drive for self-improvement. For me, every opportunity is a chance to evolve, connect, and gain new insights.
