Oxana Romanchuk
MPA Public administration
Devoting my professional career to working with entrepreneurs, I sought an academic programme that would encourage me both to think critically about the policy environment for small businesses in Russia and to gain a broader appreciation of issues in public policy on developing entrepreneurship at a global level. Queen Mary has a strong reputation for teaching public administratiom in a style that is grounded in both theory and practice. Being a Chevening Scholar, I appreciate this Scholarship Programme as well as Queen Mary University of London for providing access to the excellent education in the UK. I have already experienced that this education helps me to expand my international network, so the Queen Mary’s diversity and energy of a global city pushed me to start to work on creating the Queen Mary’s Commonwealth of Independent States Business Society in order to promote understanding of the business and political aspects of Commonwealth of Independent States in the multinational environment of Queen Mary. After completion of my study, I hope to continue to create connections between Russia and the UK, contributing to building trust, cooperation, and mutual understanding between the two countries.

MSc Management and Organisational Innovation
I have always dreamed of studying in the UK, as I’ve always been passionate about London, no doubt I chose Queen Mary, University of London. With a cosmopolitan-like campus, along with great facilities to assist students in their studies and with Central London being at a doorstep, studying my MSc degree at Queen Mary has been a wonderful experience.Studying MSc in Management and Organisational Innovation has been very exciting and challenging. Doing my Masters here was a great opportunity to learn a lot and to meet new people from different backgrounds and cultures. The social life provided by the University is absolutely amazing, postgraduate students would always find what to do in their free time. I definitely would look back with pride and pleasure on what I got out of studying here.

MSc in Law and Finance Associate, Hannes Snellman, Russia – Full Time Student and Bursary Winner
I started my professional career in one of the major international law firms, Baker & McKenzie that I joined as an Intern. After completing my Master degree in Civil Law at the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University summa cum laude I was promoted for a position of a Trainee and then a Junior Associate. Then I upgraded my knowledge, completing a PhD degree in Business Law at the Faculty of Law of State University – Higher School of Economics, which led me to develop my professional career. So I joined Hannes Snellman, a Nordic firm with a strong foothold in Russia, as an Associate.
I have been practicing in the sphere of corporate and commercial legal issues but as my background was purely legal, I felt that in order to understand the core concepts underlying any M&A transaction I need to have basic knowledge of economic aspects. So I decided to apply for a degree relating to financial and banking services – either LLM in Banking and Finance or MSc Law and Finance course. Although I had been offered places by almost all top law schools, I made the best choice by selecting Queen Mary. First of all, after careful selection of the proposed programmes I decided to develop fully my economic knowledge to supplement the legal one, so made a choice in favour of MSc Law and Finance programme. Secondly, Queen Mary University of London is well-known for providing not only excellent research opportunities but also for delivering business concepts and approaches which is so valuable nowadays.
The MSc Law and Finance programme allow the students to choose the modules to be attended depending on the practical needs for the future profession. There are 3 specialisations – 1) Banking and Financial Services, 2) Law and Financial Regulation, 3) Law and Corporate Finance, so there is an opportunity to select between them according to the career path chosen. I really enjoyed my time here, as I had the opportunity to meet outstanding people and get a truly international experience.
