"I aspired to pursue a pure Economics degree from a reputable UK institution that offers a high-quality and rigorous education at a relatively affordable cost. Naturally, UNM beat all possible options hands down. One of the most remarkable aspects of UNM is the calibre of professors and students it attracts. Not only do I have the opportunity to closely learn from highly qualified pioneers, but I also get to work with talented peers who have supported and challenged me at the same time. This is probably why my journey studying at UNM has not only been incredibly rewarding but also fulfilling."

“As I am working as a risk analyst for treasury markets, the knowledge I have gained during my degree has immensely helped me in understanding market volatilities, especially during a time when Sri Lanka is seeking assistance from the IMF and domestic debt is being restructured. Further, I also believe education not only gives theoretical knowledge but also helps in shaping one’s school of thought, improving analytical skills, and increasing the bandwidth of one’s thinking capacity. I can confidently say that the way I find solutions to the problems that occur at work reflects the wholesome education I have received at UNM’s School of Economics.”

“I highly recommend studying economics at UNM. Apart from the all-rounded curriculum, you also have the opportunity to select a few elective modules from other Schools, enabling you to explore various areas of interest. Throughout my journey at the School, I also picked up skills that were beyond just economics. The analytical and critical thinking required while interpreting data, theories and models has aided my problem-solving skills. Furthermore, the ability to present complex theories in a clear and concise manner is an under-rated skill. I realised this has helped me to enhance my presentation and communication skills, which I rely on daily.”
