Student experience

Bansari Kamdar, Second year Accounting student from London

"As an aspiring chartered accountant, the course seemed perfectly geared towards my career. I really enjoy the course units which are taught in small numbers and as a result, there is greater lecturer-student interaction, which makes learning even more enjoyable"
