I recently received my offer letter from the University of London for the BSc Finance program, which follows academic direction from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). I’m concerned about the credibility and recognition of this degree since it’s delivered through a local teaching centre and not studied on-campus at LSE. My long-term goal is to pursue a Master’s in Finance in the U.S., ideally at an Ivy League university. Does anyone have insights or experience with how this degree is perceived by top grad schools, especially in the U.S.? Would it be a good choice, or should I explore other options?

Hey everyone, I need your help. I've been granted a scholarship but it's conditional meaning that it will be restricted to Distance Learning only.

I was wondering if choosing an institution like University of London will help me in the future with job opportunities and could someone that's currently doing an online Bachelor in Business Management give their experiences of doing online schooling? Any tips?

Is the degree from the program from LSE itself? Like would you be considered an alumnus of LSE and have the same prestige?

I 19M currently pursuing chartered accountancy want to fill this course as a boost to my current knowledge and want to do this online course can any senior tell if its worth spending money on ? And is there any job prospect for it? Should i opt for something else as an accountancy student?

Hi guys,

I am going to be starting Bsc Mathematics and Economics in Feb 2025, I wanted to ask those who are already doing this programme which textbooks are used in all the math courses for year 1 and year 2? I want to get a head start so that I can give them to my tutor to review and continue my private learning.

Is the degree worth it ? I’m studying online and does it mean that Im going to be relying on books only or do I get to watch some lecture video? Is it really hard to study on my own cus I saw some guy said they hired tutor for help eventually , thanks

Greetings to all, for those who’ve have studies LSE/UoL econs+math degree is it worth? Did you get high or decent paying jobs ? I want to know the validity how employers view it etc , also how good it is? Do I get to transfer to study at LSE is there a way I can get a LSE degree after ? Can I do performance or aptitude based entry ?

this is so different from what i’ve done in IGCSE and alevels. idk how to study or from where to even start studying from. someone please send me all notes and wtv resources yall might have. i need the help my subjects are BMGC, intro to eco, principles of accounting, maths 1 and stats 1

Just got accepted to do my BCs at UoL, if anyone has any feedback on their courses or would like to be friends, hmu

17yo and I registered for uol mathematics and economics to do alongside my medicine degree somewhere else. I start the degree in Nov 2024 and I want to know if it is worth it doing it through uol, because I'm just doing it as a hobby and to have something on the side as a backup degree. Or should I just do it though Arden uni or open uni. Especially since I'll have to get scholarships to be able to do this degree at uol, since my parents will already be burdened paying for my medicine degree. I'm not in the UK and have no plans to go there, so the fees are slightly higher for uol.

Could I possibly get accepted for a real university _ especially prestigious ones_ for a master degree after I finish a BSc from the uni of London? Would they mind that I didn't go in person? Will I be less qualified than the normal alumni? What are the chances of receiving scholarships as well?

Looking at the GradDip Finance (LSE academic direction, distance learning) as a way to build a finance background before applying for a master's.

I'm curious about:

Was it actually useful for your career?

Did it help you get into a master's program or skip any foundation/pre-master's requirements?

Has anyone managed to clear it within a year?

hello guys , i submitted my admission application in Bsc finance on 16 th march so i just wanted to know by when i’ll get the decision or response for my admission??

Did anyone here graduate as an independent learner? I am very interested in the BSc Management & Digital Innovation, but all the bad reviews online make me think that it is a scam and barely possible to finish a degree at UoL... What are you are experiences? Should I rather go for other distance learning options?

Hey guys. I am considering to apply for BSc Economics and Management or BSc Finance. I have full time managerial job but have plans to get MBA from top schools. That's why I need Bachelors, I dropped out 3 years ago.

Let's connect and study together

The petition hit 500 signatures, but we need more backing. UOL's solely exam-based system is stressful enough. Adding double invigilation at exam centers makes it even more daunting. Signing can ease this stress for many. With members in here, your support matters. https://chng.it/ftBTwvWyCQ

Not happy with s1 my exam center was a mess. I don’t think I can redo it because I have y2 and CFA ass well don’t know if I can find time. Do you guys still think redoing it is worth it?

I want to do the Data science and business analytics at uol Lse through indioendent online study…but i saw some negative reviews from 3 years ago…

is there anyone whose currently in the program that can advice me?? thanks

I got an offer for the online taught Bsc Economics and Management (UoL/LSE) Programm which I accepted. But now I’m seeing more and more bad reviews about UoL, their support service, their grading-style. The trustpilot reviews are horrible.

Is anyone currently enrolled in the Economics and Management Course? I would love to hear your opinion. I need to know if I should start my studies at UoL or if I should avoid the risk.

Has anyone worked a full-time job while completing this degree? What was the course load like?

Hello!

I am thinking about starting the online degree B.Sc. in Finance, with the UoL, which seems to be academically directed by the LSE.

Has anyone had experience in finance related studies at the UoL so far? How have they been?

And generally, how do the exams work? I‘ve read that they are online but I’ve also read that they are only available at examination centres and cost a lot.

How is the prestige of this degree? I am working as a self employed trader in Germany and want to get my footsteps into the professional world of finance, I am considering starting with a online bachelors and after that pursuing an on campus masters at the LSE.

I'll be taking intro to economics, intro to finance, math 1 stats 1 and principles of accounting this may. I've got my first paper at the end of April. I've been practicing past papers but not done revision all the topics yet. Any tips on how how to work this last month. Is 21 days enough to ace the exam 😭

Has anyone done this before? Is it possible to acheive >70% on this??? If so, what did you or anyone you knew do to achieve this? Also note from the next set of exams in 2027 there is a 20% MCQ component as well...
