I am currently a fourth year student at the
University of Birmingham, reading for an MSci in Theoretical Physics, and I am looking for work in a graduate
program or similar after I finish my degree in July 2011. The sector that I am interested in working in is
Finance as I feel that this area would best suit the skills that I have gained from my degree. I believe I am a
hard-working, enthusiastic and self-motivating individual who works equally well on his own as within a larger
team environment.
