Egor Pashkov

As an undergraduate student, I learned about the competition and decided to participate. It was a unique experience for me when I was able to win and get the opportunity to enter the Master's program without having to take exams.

The competition in "Finance" was held in two stages. At the first stage, which was held online, the participants were offered simple tasks on general knowledge in the field of finance. At the second, in-person stage, which was held on the basis of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, participants solved a case related to the work of a commercial bank. The solution of this case allows to test students for practical application of knowledge in the financial field.

I would like to say a sincere thank you to the university and all my teachers. They not only taught me and passed on their experience, but also motivated me not to stop and strive for new heights. The support of my teachers helps me to develop as a professional and advance in my studies and career.
