Student review [#9295] for Management
at London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE

LSE is a career hub. It prepares you to step onto the job market from the moment you join LSE. Everyone is crazy about landing spring internships in the first year, and summer internship and graduate jobs in subsequent years. Due to this career-focused mindset that almost everyone at LSE has, career prospects are great, with more than 80% of students securing a graduate job within 6 months of graduation (statistics from LSE internal database). ____Aside from that, LSE is a very international university with more than 70% of students comprising of international students, which is the 3rd highest in the whole world (according to THE University Ranking). Due to this high ratio of international students, the student life is great as you get to experience different cultures and meet with students from various backgrounds. ____Location of LSE is perfect, in the central heart of London, with an excellent transportation system in place. However, the campus itself is very small (since it is in Central London – I assume the real estate is extremely overpriced) and it doesn’t give a feeling of so called “campus” like most U.S. universities do (even UCL has a campus!). ____Lectures in general, are very informative, but lecturers lack passion about their subject and often read off the powerpoint slides. There are some really good lecturers and class teachers though, so make sure you do thorough research on your module before choosing a module. Best advice would be to reach out to students from previous years. ____Overall, LSE is an amazing university (I mean its reputation is), and since we want jobs (as students), attending LSE will give you an edge to be competitive in the job market.
