MSc Accounting, Organisations and Institutions, Class of 2011
LSE is a brand that covers quality, challenge, and change. The quality is observable at its every part, such as at the outstanding lecturers, unique teaching style, very hardworking and smart students, and lively campus. This high quality brand gives the opportunity to have the feeling of challenge during every second of the academic calendar. The MSc Accounting Organisations and Institutions (AOI) programme at LSE, with its compulsory and wide range of elective courses at accounting, finance and law, force you to think wider, work harder, research deeper, and to be more productive. A student experiencing this quality and feeling this challenge cannot stop the personal transformation to become an incomparably qualified person with wider perspectives in the business and academic world.
The thing that I liked most and felt most challenging about the LSE and the AOI programme was the constant practices to motivate and encourage students to adopt the culture of discussion as an inseparable part of their lives. These practices help students to analyse a subject from very different point of views more analytically and comprehensively, and enable a student to support his/her will and courage to change the given order to a better position.
I continue my career as an expert at the Capital Markets Board of Turkey, which is the regulatory authority in charge of Turkish capital markets. With the help of the qualifications I got from the AOI programme, I have gained a wider perspective on the regulation side in the sense that I am now able to better analyse and comment on the possible returns and side effects of a possible regulatory change with the help of my highly improved skills especially at accounting and law.
