Tolulope: London South Bank University helps students get ready for the outside world.
Lucy: Because of the changing landscape in accounting and finance it's vital to remain
well informed. Key speakers were brought in to give us contemporary information to back
up what we are being taught in class so we are abreast of what is happening in contemporary
practice. Cherry: It's very important to prepare the
students for the real world. They will need to be able to hit the ground running on day
one because that's what the employers are looking for. We combine both of the theoretical
aspects of the subject and also the practical skills.
Antonia - LSBU encourages internships because it's a valuable insight to real business responsibilities
and practices that I couldn't have learnt in the classroom. I was able to put in practice
what I learnt in theory on the course. I'm able now to make more informed decisions regarding
my career path so it was invaluable experience for me.
Cherry: The postgraduate course here at LSBU is very interactive and also we have got the
professional accreditations. Antonia: The professional accreditations are
very important indeed, it opened the door to the profession. From the employer's point
of view it shows that you have acquired the high quality standards required for the profession.
Cherry: The class sizes are not too big and we have a very interactive mode of teaching
where the students can have a very, very intensive and very fruitful discussion with their fellows
and also with the tutors. Even during the lectures the students can still feel free
to ask the questions or share their thoughts. Lucy: Most of our lecturers are professionals
from different fields of the finance world who have also, aside teaching us what we need
to know, bring together practical aspects. Cherry: I've found that my practical experience
prior to teaching is beneficial to the students and often I was told by the students that
they found it very beneficial. Being able to help them is very rewarding.
Lucy: I've gotten a lot of support from the tutors and they have become like, my friends
and I'm sure every other classmate of mine has the same story to tell.
Tolulope: They pay attention to details and they want to contribute to your life and make
you achieve the best that you can ever achieve. Lucy: Investment and Finance ordinarily is
a tough course but the kind of tutors we have, have made it simple.
Cherry: We have a very close-knit relationship with the students because we will always accommodate
the needs of the students, to try to offer time for students, to have their one-on-one
with the teachers. Tolulope: They push you to the limit. It's
absolutely amazing to study in LSBU. Antonia: Central London's a great place to
be; it's the heart of businesses, opportunities, networking, making new connections.
Tolulope: London is the financial capital of the world and the university is close to
the city, it's close to Bank. I'm so, so privileged to have studied here.
Antonia: The course allowed more people to fulfil both their educational goals and their
career goals. I absolutely love it. Lucy: I'm really excited about going out to
put in all of the knowledge I've gotten here, as much as possible, into using in my work.
Tolulope: It is very, very important too for students to have access to Thompson OneBanker and Bloomberg,
as all these databases consist of financial information that is not available on the Internet.
Yes I am ready, I've obtained and gained the skills and knowledge to be ready
to work in the finance industry.
