1. Managerial Accounting for Chinese students
Expanding LSE’s engagement with China
Organised in cooperation with Suman Education International, LSE Custom
Programmes’ tailored course on Managerial Accounting and Financial Control
brought together 42 students from 12 universities of Jiangsu province in
China. The programme consisted of five half-days of lectures spread across
two weeks, supplemented by facilitated self-study sessions to allow the
students to conduct independent study and research at the LSE Library. It
covered a wide range of topics across managerial accounting and financial
control, including capital budgeting, investment appraisal and strategic
considerations in accounting.
The students undertook a competitive selection process to qualify in terms of
academic merit and language proficiency, and the course director, Professor
Al Bhimani of the Department of Accounting, commented that ‘the quality of
the students was very high indeed’. Several of the students hope to apply for
an LSE degree in the future.
‘It was good to see so many hardworking and aspiring students being able to
enrich their studies at home universities via this custom module,’ commented
Yury Bikbaev, Director of LSE Custom Programmes. ‘We hope to grow this
knowledge sharing engagement where LSE research and teaching excellence
are made available to wider audiences of young people in China.’
‘The feedback from our
students praised the
quality of teaching and
learning resources, and
the training facilities
were also excellent. LSE
were able to differentiate
between Chinese and UK
approaches to Managerial
Accounting and Financial
Control and deliver models
and advice of best practice.’
