Hiren Gohil, Accounting & Finance
As soon as I confirmed Cass as my firm choice, I received lots of information from the Admissions team and the University, which helped me immensely and calmed my nerves before starting my studies. I participated in the Cass Buddy Scheme and was assigned a buddy/mentor who was in the year above and studying the same course. My buddy helped me a lot; shared her experiences, gave advice and even sold her text books to me at a good rate. This positive experience inspired me to volunteer to be a buddy for the following year.
The University sent me a freshers’ pack which had loads of information on freshers’ week and various events organised by the Students’ Union to welcome first years. The pack was very informative and had plenty of freebies and vouchers, such as restaurant discounts. I attended all the freshers’ events and it made me realise how diverse Cass is. I have met students from many different backgrounds and cultures, which I believe has really helped to enrich my knowledge and communicative skills.
The first year modules cover the basic principles of accounting and finance, and during this year I have developed my quantitative skills and gained an insight of the financial market and the economy. The lecturers are all experts in their own field and I would advise you to make the most of the help available. The choice of electives offered enables you to define your career journey and branch into any field.

At the beginning of the year one of my lecturers said that you have to work hard and play hard, meaning that together with academic learning you have got to participate in extra-curricular activities. Cass presents plenty of opportunities to develop your interpersonal skills through participating in the various clubs and societies which are on offer. I have been part of a number of societies and am an active member of the Hindu society, in which I was recently elected as a treasurer. As Cass is located close to the City of London and has very good links with various firms, there are ample networking opportunities available through society events. For example, I recently attended an event on private banking which was presented by the CEO of JPMorgan Private Bank.
Having just finished my first year of the Accounting and Finance course, I can say with full confidence that Cass has not disappointed me. It has provided a supportive environment and has equipped me with the fundamental knowledge required for my future.
