The excellence of research and teaching in the Department of Accounting at LSE is globally acknowledged. The Department has long been at the forefront of research and teaching relating to thought, action and decisions reflective of financial information and the manner in which economic calculations shape human activity. This echoes LSE's traditional concern with forces which affect the world we live in.
Graduates of the Department's academic programmes grasp the potential of accounting to affect the environment we live in. They recognise that accounting practices mobilise and reflect economic, social, institutional and technological facets of change. Our academics explore a very wide variety of issues from an inter-disciplinary perspective. Our graduates learn to question and analyse inter-dependencies between accounting and issues relating to governance, risk, accountability, economic transparency , sustainability, policy making and global dimensions of change.
Each year we admit over 400 students into a range of undergraduate and graduate programmes. Students in the Department are exposed first hand to top level accounting research undertaken by its academic staff. Both staff and students each year win numerous awards for the quality of their research and achievements. The engagement between academics and students is key to our accounting programmes' success. We invite you to share in this experience.
