With subjects such as human resource management and financial management, this three-year course is academically directed by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Since 1895, LSE has been regarded as an international centre of academic excellence an innovation.
UOL graduates have been hired at top organisations such as law firms, multinational companies and major professional services firms. There are also some who have pursued their education at the world’s best universities such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, LSE, Harvard University and the National University of Singapore.
