Mai Mahmoud
BSc Banking and Finance,
Egypt
‘After studying for a Diploma

in Economics I became more
interested in studying the
repercussions of the recent
financial crisis on the banking
sector, and a BSc in Banking
and Finance has fulfilled this
interest. Besides adding a lot to
my knowledge, the University of
London courses have increasingly
challenged my analytical skills and
argumentative abilities.’
Mai Mahmoud first took the

Diploma in Economics, which
she passed with Distinction. She
then took the BSc Banking and
Finance degree, which she gained
with First Class Honours. She was
awarded a Chevening Scholarship
and is currently studying for an
MSc in Economics at LSE.

‘My parents weren’t able to go

to university and it is their dream
to see all three of their children
graduate. However, the cost of
education and living expenses is
much higher in Singapore than
in my home country, Indonesia.
I am the first in my family to
study for a degree and wanted to
help with the financial burden. I
discovered that the flexible nature
of SIM GE allowed me to teach
in my spare time. I was earning
enough to be self-sufficient
and pay all of my university fees
with my own hard work. I am
so grateful I chose to study a
University of London degree
through SIM GE. Attending a

constraints would have meant
I wasn’t able to pay my own

Department of
Mathematics, LSE
‘Given this is a combined

programme in Maths and
Economics, there are obvious
career opportunities in
finance and related areas.
It’s also a good preparation
for Masters programmes.
It’s still the case, I think, that most
graduate jobs aren’t too specific
about what degree they want.
Employers want bright people
who can solve problems. What
matters, for many jobs, is that
you have a quantitative degree
from a good university, and that
it’s a good class of degree.
The reason a degree like this
is attractive to employers is
because what you learn when
you study maths is a way of
thinking, a way of modelling
problems. And that’s particularly
true in a combined degree like
this where you’re not just doing
pure maths but you’re doing
some economic modelling.’
Professor Anthony was one of

eight winners in the Student Led
Teaching Awards 2014, organised
by the Students’ Union at LSE.
“What matters,
for many jobs,
is that you have
a quantitative
degree from a good
university, and
that it’s a good
class of degree.”

Paul Kelly
Pro-Director (Teaching

‘I wrote the study guide for

Introduction to modern political
thought, which is one of the
required first year courses on
the Politics and International
Relations programme. It gives
students a broad and general
theoretical framework within
which a lot of more recent
real world politics fits.
In structuring the study guide,
you try and give a clear indication
to the student how they should
deal with the material, what is the
process of note-taking, revision,
how do they read? We find that
our students go into all manner
of jobs including the civil service,
public affairs, NGOs, teaching,
political lobbying and journalism.
The range is quite extraordinary.
Different courses on our
programmes will give you
different kinds of skills. In a
course like mine, which is about
reading texts, it’s the ability to
critically analyse arguments.
That’s a very general thing, but
it’s a hugely valuable skill in
almost any advanced career.’

Diploma for Graduates
in Finance, India
‘The courses were well designed

by LSE. Every chapter of each
textbook was interesting to read
and gave a new understanding
and perspective. I could actually
relate to the matter being taught
and think of how to use it in real
life. The courses were extremely
tough and required lots of hard
work but, if done properly,
were extremely beneficial.
I got full support from my
excellent teachers who
helped me in every way and
taught me from the basics
so I could understand the
more advanced work properly
and thoroughly. They were
extremely well read and guided
us throughout the year so we
could excel in our exams.’
