We are really excited to announce the launch of the WIBF Student Engagement Strategy! We are launching this exciting new WIBF community with an event in conjunction with King’s College London’s Women in Business Society as well as introducing a new £10 membership for students.

The Student Engagement Strategy is part of WIBF’s efforts to increase the current participation rate of undergraduate women within the finance industry. The SES helps ensure young women are given the support, guidance, resources, and opportunities they need to enter the finance sector.

We are hosting our very first SES event, a Women in Finance panel, co-hosted alongside King’s College London’s Women in Business Society. The panel consists of an experienced and incredible group of women who will share their journey into the industry, their experiences working in finance, and their top tips for other women looking to break into the industry. The aim of this event is to inspire and inform young women considering a career in the financial industry by hearing from women who have done it first-hand. You can find out more, and register for the event here,

Student Membership

At a discounted membership rate of £10 per year, students can access a range of exciting events and resources, expand their network, gain a fantastic head start in their career, and have the opportunity to support WIBF as a volunteer.  Student members will gain access to our online events, events archive, online networking communities, and the opportunity to volunteer at WIBF.

They will also be able to access our ‘Ask Me Anything’ sessions where you can listen to and ask questions to professionals in the industry regarding their work experiences, application advice, and more.

You will need to be a full-time undergraduate or post-graduate student to be eligible to join and you will need to register using your “ac.uk” email address.  You can join here.
