Majors

Trains you to work precisely in a second language — and, less obviously, to research an unfamiliar subject fast and explain it to someone who does not share your context.

Trains you to model a problem precisely enough that a machine can execute it — and to reason about what happens when it does that at scale, under failure, and with someone attacking it.

Trains you to see how money actually moves through an organisation — and to be the person who can say whether a number is defensible.

Trains you to study human behaviour without fooling yourself — designing a question that could come back with an answer you did not want.

Trains you to find out what is actually happening, verify it, and explain it to people who were not there — on a deadline.

Trains you to price time and risk — what a future cash flow is worth today, why two assets with the same expected return are not the same bet — and to read how institutions actually move money.

Trains you to take a messy situation, find the rule that governs it, and argue to a standard where someone who disagrees has to answer you rather than dismiss you.

Trains you to make a visual decision on someone else's behalf — what a stranger sees first, reads second and feels about it — and to defend that decision in a review.

Trains you to work out who buys, why, and what would make them — then to spend someone else's money on that guess and be measured on whether it was right.

Trains you to keep a person safe through the hours when no doctor is in the room — to notice deterioration before the monitor does, and to act inside a protocol while still exercising judgement.
