Aiming for a career in financial services, Yikai Shen chose to study A-levels in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Business at Derby College before continuing his education at Imperial College, London.
A British education is recognised throughout the world as the best.

I made a lot of good friends and everyone was very welcoming
