24th August 2009, a group of students from Japan, Waseda University, paid visit to Temasek Polytechnic. They were here to learn more about our Financial Business Informatics course structures and subjects. It was our pleasure to give a presentation for them at the Thomson Reuters Financial Risk Management Centre. Throughout the presentation, Ms Nami was very kind to explain every important point to them in Japanese.
We started off the presentation by introducing our Diploma (Financial Business Informatics) to the visitors from Waseda University. Furthermore, we gave a brief description of the skills and modules that were available in this course, including the Reuters Wealth Manager(RWM). After which, we provided the visitors with an interactive and memorable experience by demonstrating the basics of RWM. However during the demonstration, some visitors were having difficulties regarding the software, thus help and support were provided to them. In overall, the visitors were enjoying themselves and they were very impressed on what the RWM could do.
After the presentation, students from Waseda University raised some questions and feedback about the RWM system. They wanted to know more about how the firm uses RWM to help them in generating more profits and make better decision. They were given 30 minutes to explore the application and stimulated the real trading environment. They had also asked some questions about why we choose the course, the educational system in Singapore and some interesting places they can visit in Singapore as well. We shared our experience in poly life and some thoughts about future. The organizer and the visitors had a very good communication session. We exchanged the views regarding Japan and Singapore cultural and economic situation. We had also got their personal contact number and email.
At the end of the session, there were some refreshments provided for the visitors. We took some pictures for memory and we had very interesting chat with them. It was an enriching experience for all of us.
