“I had a great experience on the LSE Managerial Finance course. At the beginning of the course, the convenor, Dirk Jenter, mentioned that the materials cover the most relevant, important aspects of managerial finance, and I couldn’t agree more. In addition, the way in which the content is explained is really clear and logical. I also found the assessment tasks interesting and well-connected to the subject matter we’d just covered. Last but not least, the fact that we could communicate with a team of tutors was another asset. This way, we could both get clarification on points related to the course and ask other questions related to finance that interested us.”
– Yuri Stepanov, General Manager, MAPFRE Assistance
