Welcome to the BAME in Finance Society
About us
BAME in Finance, founded in 2023 is the University of Bristol's first society aimed at driving diversity and inclusion within the finance and consulting industry. The society offers students with opportunities to develop knowledge of Finance & Consulting industries through panel events, networking sessions, socials, and workshops.
