Overview

Anthony joined the University of Exeter Business School in 2005 as an undergraduate student, achieving a first class Bachelor’s degree with honours in Accounting and Finance in 2008. During this period he was awarded the Hiles Scholarship which promotes and assists mature students of academic merit, allowing recipients to concentrate their efforts on academia.

Given his outstanding undergraduate achievement, he was invited to return for the MSc in Accounting and Finance as an Accounting Scholar, and, over 2008-2009, obtained his Master’s degree with distinction, as well as providing extensive tutorial support to undergraduates.

Anthony was rewarded for his academic achievements in 2009 when he accepted an offer of a PhD studentship. During the course of his PhD studies, Anthony has managed and delivered two modules in Aberystwyth University, and delivered seminars at the University of Exeter. Anthony completed his PhD entitled: “The performance of insolvency and credit risk models in the UK: a comparative study, development, and wider application”, in September 2012 and  joined the University of Exeter Business School in an official capacity as a Lecturer in Accounting in 2013.
