Join us for an online session designed to help you make informed decisions about your BSc Accounting and Finance course choices and prepare for an exciting start at LSE.

During the session, you'll hear from your Programme Director, Dr Saipriya Kamath, and the Programme Team, who will guide you through the course selection process and explain what to expect as a new student. You'll also hear from a panel of current students  who will share their experiences of studying at LSE, settling into university life, and making the most of the opportunities available both inside and outside the classroom.
