London School of Economics and Political Science
|
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is the only university in the UK specialising in the study of social sciences and has a worldwide reputation in the field. The world's largest social sciences library is housed here. Of the 8,000 or so students, half are postgraduates and only around a third are from the UK, making for the largest proportion of overseas students at any university in the world. Students here have a reputation for being academic and determined - the fact that the university library has a borrowing rate four times the national average speaks volumes. Graduates enjoy top graduate employment rates and starting salaries. The school is located in the heart of London, just over the road from King's College London, with which it enjoys a traditional rivalry. It's close to the amenities of the West End, the river and Bloomsbury. A new building due to open in 2008 will allow the LSE to increase the number of students it can take. |
