“London is the best city to get experience in economics and business. The Bloomberg Lab is a great opportunity to learn about the financial sector, which is one of the main reasons I chose this school. My teachers are very supportive and teach you techniques and different
situations useful for university and your future career.”
Harry from Vietnam went on to study Computer Science at the University of Leicester
