What our graduates say

What our graduates say After studying Mathematics at Birmingham I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the financial industry but was still unsure about what area I wanted to specialise in. The flexibility and duration of the programme was one of the main things that made me apply to PCL. The flexible 3 year programme provides exposure to many different areas of the business without the need to specialise until the programme is complete. PCL is a fast growing company and from day one I had the opportunity to work closely with executives and senior members of the company on key projects. Hiding behind the scenes is not an option in this company however the recognition you get for the hard work you do makes it worth it.” Shivina Patel – Financial Analyst I attended King’s College London, where I pursued 4 years PhD research in Computational Biomechanics. After joining PCL I am mostly involved in the analysis of management information reports. The business analysis software, Empower, is used for the analysis, ranging from processing the raw business data to business modelling and complex data calculation. The tailored graduate scheme in PCL is not only for those who have business background but the cutting-edge methods implemented here will appeal to graduates with scientific experience too.” Lin Chen – Financial Analyst Having a BSc and MSc in Accounting and Finance this position seemed ideal to me – and I have to admit that this was the best choice I have ever made. Being a part of dynamic and fast-growing company as well as co-operating with senior management team is a unique experience which can vastly expand your working experience and skills. From day one I had the chance to work in very demanding projects with strict deadlines. I am currently involved in the optimisation of operations functions, supporting senior management in project analysis while at same time preparing for CIMA qualification. I think that our flexible graduate programme stands out of the competition and everyone seeking a challenging but fulfilling experience should definitely apply.” Giorgos Baimpas – Operations Analyst The past year has been really exciting for me. With my degree in Economics and Statistics from St Andrews I must say I have had opportunities to apply prior knowledge on numerous projects since coming to Premium Credit. From the very beginning, I have been privileged enough to work directly under senior management team including the CEO on crucial strategic business projects. For instance one of the major projects that I was a part of included implementing benchmark framework to understand key drivers of product penetration and best practices across the industry. Although you may be faced with a steep learning curve, the prospect will unquestionably expose you to multiple segments of the business and as a result making you a key member amongst Premium Credit’s core team.” Belayat Dhamala – Strategy Analyst
