In my experience most students who have chosen the international distance route rely heavily on the Study material to pass exams .I however feel this is not sufficient and my experience in lecturing such subjects gives me the advantage of building additional knowledge to help students face past paper questions with relative ease.”
Mercury completed their first successful year for the degree, which turned out to be a huge success with a large number of students from various institutions joining in on the programme. Those who enrolled benefited from both comprehensive syllabus and past paper coverage alongside effective exam technique.

Speaking of their reputed and globally recognized lecture panel which has contributed to the high pass rates and world prize winners , Jayasekera stated “Even key resource personnel handling subjects as accounting and Management accounting and strategy are ACCA and CIMA qualified and are also currently lecturing for the ACCA and CIMA qualification offered at mercury. These lecturers have been creating many prize winners and have lecture experience in excess of 7 years. Those who lecture the economics related subjects such as Micro economics, Macro Economics, Managerial Economics and Econometrics have been carefully hand picked to the panel. All lecturers have successfully completed the LSE Degree themselves and are also first Class holders having been prize winners themselves. Not only are these resources personnel picked for their impeccable credentials but also for their effective teaching styles that make technical subjects student friendly. This is the kind of standard we have always maintained at Mercury which has been epitomized through the success rate of our students.”
