Matthew (3rd from left) and other students who travelled to New York
Matthew Chapman, who went to New York with the City Scholarship Programme during the summer, recounts his experiences.
“Through the Queen’s City Scholarship Programme, I enjoyed a two week internship in New York with Fortress Investment Group, a leading, highly diversified global investment management firm. I was assigned a research role, analysing companies in the following sectors: transportation and infrastructure, commercial real estate, and technology. I feel more confident now reading and writing reports.
The trip involved some fantastic memories such as attending a networking event at Marcus Robinson’s art studio at 4 World Trade Centre with 360 degree views of Manhattan and being in Trump Tower when Donald Trump announced he was running for President. The Scholarship provided a fantastic opportunity to experience life and work in the Big Apple and has definitely supported me in my personal and professional development.”
