Gu Zhang BSc Economics and Finance2009

Hi, I'm Gu Zhang and I studied BSc Economics and Finance within Social Sciences: Economics at the University of Southampton.

I was attracted by the guidebook introduction, the high-quality academic research environment, Southampton's position in the ranking of world universities and the beautiful campus.

Q: Why did you choose the University of Southampton?

I came here following a cooperative programme between the University of Southampton and my Chinese university. I was attracted by the guidebook introduction, the high-quality academic research environment, Southampton's position in the ranking of world universities and the beautiful campus.

Q: Why did you choose to study Economics with Finanace?

The main strengths of the course are the modules which are from Social Sciences and from Management at Southampton.

Q: How did you find living in Southampton?

Student Services is very convienient in every aspect. I can get professional help, no matter what I want to know, including renting a room, extending my visa, correcting mistakes in dissertations or finding out more about careers. The earlier students become familiar with the assistant system, the easier they will find living here.
