London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE
speciality: Economics

LSE was founded more than 100 years ago. Its history adds a lot to their knowledge. As it is understood from the name, main education topics are economics and politics. I have done my master degree in Economics and later on got approved by KOC University for a Ph.D. which is the best university at the moment in Turkey. School’s name gives enough reputation and people don’t ask details about how was education. Because everyone knows education is high level as school standing is in top 10 among worldwide schools. Another advantage of the school is its located in one of the perfect cities in the world.

Before going to LSE, I thought the social life there would be terrible with people studying 24/7. However, it was so different from what I expected – and I think it all comes down to living in halls for a 1st-year student as you can make friends during freshers week so much easier, and you basically go out with them most of the time. Moreover, I am impressed by the educational support that LSE provided to the students! Regular office hour is provided by the departments so students can seek out their teachers/professors for help if needed, extra support sessions will also be provided during exam period, and a lot of career advice sessions (CV, interview advice etc) throughout the year.

One of the most prestigious school for social sciences with a focus on economics and finance. Highly qualified professors and very intellectually challenging programs. Student body is diverse and has a vibrant culture. There are wide range of career options.

LSE is a great learning environment with excellent professors and endless extracurricular activities. The secret on enjoying LSE is being proactive in making the first move to get involved: the clubs, academic events, and students groups never disappoint. LSE also has outstanding Career services and the aspirational drive of the students can be easily perceived around campus. A very enjoyable place to study and perfect for curious, independent individuals.

There are so many opportunities to network and the overall appeal of being in London is amazing. The university itself varies in its standard of teaching – but by the nature of university I think all of the work has to be done independently anyhow. And there is a sufficient support network in place for when help is needed. The appeal of LSE to employers is what makes the opportunities we get so great upon graduation.

Everything in LSE is student centred they take extremely good care of students , be it careers , professionals are hired here to guide students in achieving their career goals. Library here is really good with plenty of books computer and reading spaces

I am a MSc International Political Economy student at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). I am specializing in international economics.

The distinguishing feature about the LSE is its relentless focus on cognitive flexibility. The LSE attempts to train its students in the art of acquiring knowledge from a range of disciplines. Its motto reads ‘knowing the causes of things’ and from day one, I was told this cannot be achieved through any one discipline. ( For instance, a student of economics will consider the political impact of a regulation or a management student will use behavioral economics to analyse organizational culture). As a result, I was able to add some flexibility into my course. This is why the course has exceeded my expectations.

In addition, I am surrounded by international students (70% of the student body comes from outside the UK) who think outside the box. This is what I liked the most about my experience. There are very few top-ranked Universities where international exposure is so high.

The caveat here is that the LSE is quite a challenging academic environment and what students gain from their education depends on what they put into it. My course in particular has been quite challenging but it has also been rewarding.

The LSE has successfully turned students into experts, entrepreneurs and leaders for over 100 years and it continues to do so to this day. The LSE gives you access to this network. For instance, I recently met the President of the EU Commission who is an alumnus of the LSE at an event and discussed my dissertation with her.

Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend an education at the LSE.

So far everything is perfect, pretty intense but rewarding as well. The time and effort that is dedicated from teachers to student is fantastic and if you really want to learn more and go further there is always help by peers, teachers and professors.

Was between this program and an MBA in the US! I feel lucky to have selected LSE! Exceeded my expectations!! Over enjoyed my 1-year program and definitely recommend it to anyone interested! It is surely one of the top Universities in the World!!

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.
