Student review [#9502] for Environmental Policy and Regulation
at London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE

LSE has a lot of well-respected professors, the structure of teaching aim to help you achieve outstanding grades. But of course, it won’t be like high school, you really need be to able to study independently and self- learn. But when you have problem, lecturers and the TAs are there to help you through. The whole study environment is fascinating, everyone is intelligent, and passionate about their course. You could always get in-depth discussion about the readings in class. This would drives you to success. You will get all the pressure about career since day one. The department would hosts career events, and all those career societies will organized all sorts of events, which equip you with all the essential skills. The only pitfall is that the university is very finance/ economics and law focused. Everyone is talking about investment banking. It would be great if you are doing these courses. For someone who does social science, and wants to pursue a career in this field, you might not have access to the same level of information/ industry link as other universities. But academic wise, LSE is definitely a great university, just as its motto says, you will learn ‘to know the causes of things’ Nevertheless, what you get out from LSE would depend on how much effort you decided to put in.
