MSc Banking and Finance.

Completed a dissertation in the course of the programme. The dissertation used a
univariate analysis technique to study the performance of U.S. bank minority
acquisition in the period of the financial crisis. The results of the study indicated that
interest margin was the main driver of pre – and post - acquisition profitability for
minority acquirers. The study is pending evaluation, but the experience gained from
this study was invaluable.
A coursework was also completed where the corporate governance, shareholder
structure, financial performance, liquidity position, risk profile and capital structure of

of directors showed the findings of the coursework to be wrong, the report gained
high marks.
