I have always liked Singapore and wanted to experience living in Singapore. LSE is anextremely prestigious school and Finance is a highly sought after qualification. SIM gave methe perfect opportunity to realise all three ambitions. SIM gave me the opportunity to study a very useful and challenging subject and to live and work in a country that I love as well asfor a company that I love.
