The lecture this morning was two hours long and focused on the impact of regulatory changes on the financial services offered by commercial banks and the risks faced by them. It explored a real-life case study of a commercial bank.

I went for lunch at the Interval Bar, which is in the Students' Union, with my classmates.

Today I visited the careers fair at the Octagon to explore future career options and network with potential employers.
