We are excited to announce that the Norwich Business School and the School of Economics will be hosting a guest lecture by Prof. Franklin Allen, one of the world’s leading scholars in finance and economics.
Date: Wednesday, October 22
Time: 16:00 - 17:30
Location: Thomas Paine Study Centre, Lecture Theatre
Professor Allen is currently Professor of Finance and Economics and Executive Director of the Brevan Howard Centre at Imperial College London, having previously taught at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for 36 years. He is also a co-author of the widely used textbook “Principles of Corporate Finance” and has served as president of several major finance associations.
His research spans corporate finance, financial innovation, and financial crises; topics that are highly relevant to students interested in investment, financial markets, and policy. His talk will focus on recent financial crises, their causes & trends we can observe, a snapshot of the current global economy, and the likelihood of another financial crisis occurring in the short to medium term.
This speaker event is a must-attend if you want to:
- Better understand the current situation of the global economy and improve your commercial awareness.
- Network with one of UEA’s most successful alumni about his postgraduate education at Oxford, his time at Wharton and Imperial and gain a deep insight into each university’s respective culture, opportunities you can engage in as a student and find out what makes a successful candidate
This event is open to everyone to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
