Student review [#26068] for Banking and Finance
at London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE

The online program was not complicated and engaged the students completely. The online platform was easy to use, textbook provided by the university was the best general study guide as well. The tutorials in the program were short but covered the main key points needed to pass the exam. The tutors also made the tutorials simple to understand, and would always answer all your queries and questions and make sure you understand. The classes for my degree were all relevant and the knowledge learnt will be useful throughout life.
Being an online program did make it difficult to actually get motivated to study, as it was all up to you if you wanted to study or not, no one would tell you or push you to study.
The school could improve by adding weekly online classes to the program and giving out small weekly assignments that have to be done by the students, this would motivate them and make the students put more effort into the course.
Due to it being online, there wasn’t a normal student life. You could actually work a full-time job and study on the side.
The online course is done worldwide, I actually did it in Kenya. Hence I would say the university is very international.
I would definitely recommend anyone to study there, especially if they want to study while working. Also, the fees are very affordable, and there isn’t as much stress put on you.
Getting a degree from a prestigious university like this one has a massive positive impact on your career prospects as the university is well recognized both internationally and locally. Due to finishing my degree just recently, I haven’t yet got a job in the field I studied, but I am confident I’ll be able to get one soon.
