My journey of becoming a financial economist began in grammar school in Linz, Upper Austria: I was introduced to some basic concepts of technical analysis and [shown] how to apply them to stock trading during one of our IT lessons \u2013 although this was not the main topic of the lesson. However, those concepts attracted my interest, and I went on to study economics at WU Vienna in the year 2003. Economics was pretty analytical in terms of methodology and economic thinking. In fact, I wanted to study more finance than economics, but at that time WU Vienna did not offer a proper finance course.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I continued with economics and was quite confident that the acquired skills were useful for pursuing further studies with a finance focus. However, after I completed my studies at WU Vienna, life did not offer me that much and so I was looking for ways to improve my situation. I decided to study banking and finance at the University of Zurich. I spent one year there, but my happiness was rather limited. That was when I saw an ad on Facebook from Sa\u00efd Business School \u2013 it was about the online Oxford Algorithmic Trading Programme. I decided to give up my studies in Zurich and enrol. This was the turning point in my life. After completing the programme in January 2019, things became much better. Finally, I managed to get accepted at Bayes Business School in London for the MSc in quantitative finance in 2019. Getting to study in the UK has been the greatest success of my life so far!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>After graduation at Bayes Business School, I continued to study for two additional diplomas, one in applied financial trading at the London Academy of Trading and one in Python for algorithmic trading at the University of Applied Sciences Saarland (both online courses). This year, I\u2019ll devote most of my time to applying for jobs in the fields of finance and economics. The Oxford Algorithmic Trading Programme contributed to much personal progress and satisfaction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Phil Richardson<\/strong><br><em>Co-Founder, Miura Capital Ltd<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>\u201cA great programme for those seeking to further their knowledge on the systematic trading industry.
