Honouring our Class of 2024
On Friday 18 October 2024, we welcomed graduates to the historic Guildhall in London for our annual Graduation Ceremony. The event brought together 115 graduates and more than 350 guests – family, friends, faculty, and industry leaders – to celebrate achievement and ambition. The Guildhall provided the perfect setting, but it was the determination, ambition, and personal stories of our graduates that made the day unforgettable.
Among the highlights was Djulia Ciochina, a BSc (Hons) Finance, Investment & Risk graduate, who not only received a prestigious Student Engagement Prize but also delivered a speech sharing her inspiring journey – including founding CareerCraft, a platform supporting students in finance. Chandan Jha and Adam Belfield also spoke at the event, each achieving Chartership alongside their advanced diplomas. Their journeys – from balancing family life to leading banking operations across multiple countries – reflected the resilience and ambition of this graduating class.
For those unable to attend, the ceremony was livestreamed, offering everyone the chance to watch proud moments on stage, hear inspiring speeches, and share in the celebration. You can watch our recording of the livestream on Youtube.
