The London School of Economics and Political Science offers world class courses in economics and political science, as well as a wide range of social science subjects. The university has a stunning Thames side campus near to Covent Garden and some of London’s most iconic landmarks, but despite its central London location it retains a genuine community feel with students working, studying and socialising together. The focus across many programmes is on critical thinking and applying ideas to real world situations and students are supported to make contacts with and take up placements with leading industry professionals. In addition, many joint honours programmes encourage a more rounded approach to education through broader interdisciplinary study. The university offers world class academic resources which combine with free access to museums, exhibitions and galleries across the city to create a unique learning experience.
