Universal College Bangladesh has partnered with the reputed London School of Economic to offer local students the opportunity to study world-class curriculums in accounting, business, economics, management, finance, and social science.
UCB hosted an Open Day on its campus in Gulshan on Tuesday to provide students with an in-depth overview of the prestigious University of London degrees available at UCB. The event featured James Abdey, associate professor in statistics and associate international director at LSE.
As the chief guest, Abdey offered valuable insights into what makes the LSE curriculum so special, and how a University of London degree enhances career prospects for students.
Also present at the event were Manas Singh, CEO of STS; Prof Hew Gill, president and provost of UCB; Professor Muhammad Ismail Hossain, Dean of Academic Affairs; and Kingshuk Gupta, chief operating officer of UCB.
Prof Hew Gill opened the event with a speech explaining how international education gives Bangladeshi students the skills they need to succeed in their careers, said a press release.
James Abdey said, ‘The LSE crafts its degree curriculums to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge to thrive in the modern global economy.’
London School of Economic ranked number 6 in the QS World Ranking of Universities, so is among the very best universities in the world. Many LSE degrees are accredited by professional bodies such as ICA, CIMA, and ACCA so students may receive exemptions from professional exams when studying to become accounting, finance and data analytics professionals.
UCB offers four full degrees designed and assessed by the LSE. Students can complete all three years of their graduation at UCB and when they finish they can graduate in Dhaka or they can choose to receive their degree at the Graduation Convocation ceremony in London. The next UCB intake for the LSE designed degrees is on 14th October 2024.
