Komal Shakeel
BSc Accounting and
Finance, Pakistan
I am working with the World
Bank Pakistan office and
providing technical support to
the Ministry of Finance, Pakistan.
It is a very unique and interesting
mix. I get to have my feet both
in the most important ministry
in the Government as well as
one of the most influential
international organisations. I
think I am getting the best of
both worlds and that really
gives me a broad perspective.
I wanted to bring the technical
expertise and international
exposure to help development
in Pakistan. Little did I know that
I would get a chance of doing
that so early in life. Even a small
change can impact millions
of people in my country.

Following her undergraduate


degree, Komal was awarded a full
scholarship by LSE to pursue a
Masters in Social Policy. Following
this, she began working for
the Planning Commission of
Pakistan before joining the
World Bank in 2015. Read more

E-business has changed peoples
lives so much changed their
social lives through social
networking sites (like Facebook),
content-sharing sites (like
YouTube) and blogs, and changed
their working lives through
the use of web-based systems.
Theres a tremendous hype
thats grown up around web 2.0,
like many previous information
technologies. However,
relatively few businesses are
actually making much money
out of it or are able to harness
web 2.0 to make changes
in the bottom line. Its only
recently that enough research
material has been gathered
together to put together a
solid, academic course on the
subject. The Management

Given this is a combined


programme in Maths and
Economics, there are obvious
career opportunities in
finance and related areas.
Its also a good preparation
for Masters programmes.
Its still the case, I think, that most
graduate jobs arent 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
its 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 thats particularly
true in a combined degree like
this where youre not just doing
pure maths but youre 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 its a good
class of degree.

Paul Kelly
Pro-Director (Teaching
and Learning), LSE

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, its the ability to
critically analyse arguments.
Thats a very general thing, but
its a hugely valuable skill in
almost any advanced career.

We find that our


students go into

including the civil
service, public
