Assistant Supervisor Review

As a banking supervisor, my role involves the supervision of a portfolio of banks to maintain the safety and soundness of these firms. On a day to day, this can include anything from risk assessments on various financial resources and management to regular meetings with the firm's management to consider the viability of their strategy.

My knowledge of the financial services industry and the operations of banks has increased through supervision of these firms. My understanding of the concepts behind capital, liquidity and credit has also developed. More broadly, I have also improved my time management, prioritisation and team work skills through projects and responsibility.

I enjoy my programme a lot! Working at The Bank of England, I am exposed to the daily movements of markets, get to meet a range of interesting individuals to learn from and am given responsibilty early in my career. My degree is relevant to my work and I enjoy learning content that is utilised in my day to day.

My programme is well structured with good lecturers, timely exams and a manageable workload. I am aware of any upcoming deadlines well in advance which allows me to plan my university work efficiently and not get in the way of my job.

My line manager is incredibly supportive and aware that I am managing a degree alongside my work. As a result, my workload is adjusted appropriately and I am given extra time around my exams to revise if I need it. I have frequent well being check ins with my apprenticeship leader.

The university is good and receptive to any questions we have about upcming exams or assignments.

My applied finance degree is very relevant to my day to day work. I am frequently finding myself understanding more technical pieces of work as a result of information picked up during my degree.
