Recent Master's graduate Isobel Schofield, comments on her Summer School in Denmark studying value creation in financial statements, where she gained fresh international insight and a new perspective on careers in the industry:

"I took a Summer School in Denmark, at Aarhus University. It was a really good opportunity to get some international experience, to study something relevant to my course, but a little bit different to give me a broader view of careers in the industry.”

These experiences don’t just enrich your time at Durham, they help you stand out in a competitive global job market.

“I was awarded the DUBS Masters Achievement Scholarship. As a student who worked in Switzerland prior to my studies and is financing my tuition independently, this scholarship provided crucial financial support. It made it realistically possible for me to pursue a Master’s degree abroad and experience a different academic system compared to Switzerland. Beyond the financial aspect, the scholarship also represented a strong vote of confidence and allowed me to focus fully on my studies and opportunities at Durham.”
