What our students say

At first, I was not 100% sure whether I wanted to be an accountant for the rest of my life. However, I found accounting very interesting (thanks to my lecturers at the Claude Littner Business School) and now, I cannot imagine myself in a different position."

Gabriele Loukbache, BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance graduate,

Finance Officer at The Royal College of Emergency Medicine

Students from UWL’s Claude Littner Business School (CLBS) visited Accountex, Europe’s largest annual business event for the accounting and finance profession, at ExCel London.

At the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) stand, students met members and practitioners and took pictures with the ‘Tuk Tuk to Success’, reminding them that with the globally recognised ACCA qualification they will be able to work in any sector anywhere in the world.

I had an excellent time interacting with accounting professionals and getting informed about practical and technological updates.
