UCL Women in Finance Society

UCL Women in Finance Society was founded by two students who recognize the challenges of breaking into the financial industry as a young female graduate.Anyone can see that there is a shortage of women in the financial world – we believe that with a little guidance and information, we can decrease this gap. UCLU Women in Finance aims to educate, equip and empower students through talks, workshops, and networking, and inspire confidence in fellow students. Our mission and goals are to:• Maximise the career opportunities for female graduates through workshops, professional guidance, personal development, and emphasising the importance of networking• Reduce the gender gap within, and bring diversity to, the finance and consulting industry• Form close partnerships with Women in Business/Finance societies at the other top UK universities to increase our networking circle• Create a platform/channel from which students can develop specific skills required for the sector they are interested in (e.g. Accounting, M&A, Consulting, Corporate Finance, Corporate Law, etc.)• Provide quality advice regarding internship applications: choosing sector, company, position, application writing, etc• Create cooperation – not competition – among female students looking to enter the finance industry• Maintain the highest caliber pool of talented female students from which banks and other financial institutions can source talent.Website: www.uclwomeninfinance.co.ukEmail: [email protected] of UCL Guild - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ucl-guild/
