UG BUS QUICK GUIDE | PROFILE

RYAN RAMSEY BACHELOR OF FINANCE, BACHELOR OF COMMERCE (HONS 1ST CLASS)

“Having completed my Bachelor of Finance degree in 2004 I decided to take a year off study. Not unlike many university graduates I was uncertain as to what career path I would pursue.

It was during this time I decided to undertake the Honours program to further my analytical skills and fi nance knowledge and to improve my career prospects over and above that of my peers.

I found the Honours program to assist in many levels of my education from a more detailed understanding of corporate finance principles to detailed research, critical analysis of theories and public speaking. A highlight for the year was presenting my thesis proposal at the Australasian Business and Behavioural Science Association Conference held at the University of Adelaide.

During my Honours year I successfully applied for an analyst position within the corporate team at Futuris Corporation where I have worked for the last year and a half. My pending graduation was critical in gaining this position with Honours qualifications being a pre-requisite for the role.”
