On the completion of my MBA in Finance I was given the opportunity to continue my studies for a PhD. As I was already familiar with the finance department, I was happy to take on this further academic challenge at Coventry University.

My PhD has taught me how to observe critically, think creatively and decide independently, to the extent that I can help other research students plan their studies. The supervision I received gave me the freedom to make decisions for my research while my supervisors' doors were always open for any professional help.

The Business School and the University provide a broad range of facilities and resources such as financial databases, electronic journals, web-based materials as well as many other online resources.

Finally, I have one basic rule: 'Don't limit your challenges, but challenge your limits'. I always look back on my time in Coventry with a smile. The work was highly challenging, the research community very dynamic and the quality of supervision excellent.
