London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE (reviews)

Great university. I really enjoyed my master degree in HRM. There was also an option for part-time studies, so I picked this one, and was able to complete it alongside my job. The teaching staff were all excellent, with many coming from private sector background, then doing Phd and now doing teaching.

What would you highlight?
The university’s outstanding academic reputation, expert faculty, and exceptional research opportunities.

My overall experience at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich was excellent. I was consistently impressed by the high caliber of teaching and the depth of knowledge my professors possessed. The university’s libraries and research facilities are top-tier, providing incredible resources for independent study. Being located in Munich also meant access to a vibrant, culturally rich city with great connections for internships and future careers.

On the downside, some introductory courses can be very large and impersonal. Navigating certain administrative procedures can also be challenging due to the size and traditional structure of the university.

I would definitely recommend it to motivated students seeking a rigorous, research-oriented education at one of Europe’s leading universities. Be prepared to be proactive in seeking out support and building connections within your specific program.

It is a good environment for learning and development. and you will get great experience and will feel loved .It is an edifice full of respect, cooperation, love, development and determination.It is a very good experience and a unique and distinguished place with an atmosphere of friendship, love and flexibility.

I really enjoyed my time at LSE, the diversity in the range of modules and the level of expertise from the staff enhanced my degree and personal interests. One thing that I disliked, however, was the University’s and the student body’s intensive focus on careers, especially the corporate world. This was a bit suffocating for me, due to the fact that I have no interest in this field. I wish there would be more awareness on the diversity of jobs available.

I really like my university and course – PBS. We have a range of ways of assessment including pitches, presentations, podcasts. There is a great sense of community as we are not in competition with each other.

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There’s a certain sense of community that is special to the university.
The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

Pros: Networking opportunities, academically challenging programme (intensive 1 year)

Cons: Limited campus life, tiring to commute, apply for jobs and study, undergrads tend to have an advantage (3 year programmes)

The course I picked, BSc Financial Mathematics and Statistics is one of the most demanding courses at LSE, but is worth it, as the work you put in ultimately translates to your results. You do have leisure time to go out and spend time with friends as well as studying. The work ethic at LSE is overall very strong, with people pushing each other to work as hard as they can.

One of the most notable aspects as a student at LSE is its inspiring work culture. The vast cultural diversity that exists between the university walls are home to driven and motivated individuals from all over the globe. Such a multicultural atmosphere fosters a rich exchange of ideas, enabling students to broaden their horizons. This coupled with the school’s emphasis on collaboration and critical thinking nurtures an intellectually stimulating environment where students are constantly learning from one another and their experiences.
I have found that the dedication from the career services provides comprehensive and supportive guidance throughout each student’s academic journey. From personalised career counselling sessions to skill-building workshops and networking events loaded with leading industry professionals and alumni, LSE equips its students with the necessary tools to successfully navigate the competitive job market.
RIghtly renowned for its academic excellence, LSE attracts top-tier faculty members who are not only highly knowledgeable but also passionate about their subjects, creating engaging learning experiences as I have found while studying my course. My lecturers are incredibly accomplished and passionate about their fields of study without which I would not be as immersed in my studies as I am.
It is important to note that the London School of Economics lives up to its academic prestige which comes with a level of demand from students that are only compatible with immense determination and stellar time management, especially from those who would also like to pursue extracurricular activities. That being said, forming a community with students who have similar interests and aspirations as you is the key to ensuring that you are able to remain on track with your goals.
Overall I would recommend LSE for those who value and aspire to be in a hardworking environment.
