Yes, I used the Careers Service for advice on my CV and attended several networking events with banks/ finance companies.

The breadth of topics offered; the sheer number of modules we had to choose from catered for many needs/ preferences, ranging from international macroeconomics topics, to capital markets and finance topics.

The fact that Bristol is a young, vibrant city, that consistently offered something to do - be that Arts/ Music/ Sport/ Culture etc.
