Student review [#11050] for Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
at London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE

LSE varies in what it is successful in. The research done by academics is good and it has an excellent international reputation. However, the teaching in earlier years is often of low quality. Researched focused academics may not see the need to teach first years well and this is reflected in the breadth of the course content (particularly economics) and the exam papers. The sports facilities are also poor and international students particularly often have mental health issues.
