Great Experience

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There's a certain sense of community that is special to the university. The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

More programme coordination

The lecturers in my programme are quite helpful. Would recommend they infuse some kind of practice or practicality into the program. A little bit of programme coordination, and more interaction with peers should be incorporated.

CIMA-My Dream

It was a dream come true, I wanted to become a CIMA member which I achieved in 2015, the thing I like their support very user friendly website, the thing I dislike is the Merger with AICPA, as it seems like for most members it is not a merger but a take over. All in all I am happy to be a member in this Esteem Management Accountancy body.
