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

LSE is a highly underrated university when it comes to rankings. It is not only an university with unique class modules but also one which encourages young minds to be their own leaders. The amount of value a student’s voice holds in the university is quite commendable, and not everyone is able to appreciate all the opportunities provided by it. The only drawback is that a student has to have the strong will and desire to push oneselves out of her/his comfort zone and involve in all the activities to appreciate the university fully.

Unparalleled opportunities, only at the london school of economics. Very international friendly. academically rigorous and career focused. Never regretted coming here! Filled with smart and fun people.

The prestige of LSE is clearly evident in the teaching of its many social science-driven courses and programmes. The quality and level of teaching are very high and academics are held to account for their pedagogical abilities. The university is clearly run with a heart and every student is heard, while the university communicates its policies and intentions very clearly. The IT systems of the school are well managed and marketed, so networked systems are widely used (such as LSE’s student hub for finding events, bookings etc.)

The balance of postgrad and undergrad students is great and it shows as the university does have a very mature, ambitious character. The facilities can at times be a bit old and used, but efforts are clearly made to keep them clean (at varying levels of success).

I really like the campus and its small size and single location make it feel more like a community, and more likely to bump into your friends. The best thing about this university is that it brings a lot of opportunities and prospects for the future.

LSE can help you in getting top-notch education and in connecting with some of the smartest professors in your field. Furthermore, you will have the chance to participate in an enormous amount of talks and events with high-level people in fields like government, politics and business. Finally, not only LSE is 2nd Best School in the World for Social Sciences and Management but also the career support at LSE it’s excellent and by studying in this university, your employability opportunity will be higher! Definitely recommend it!

I definitely enjoyed my time at LSE. In my opinion, the highlight of my experience at LSE has been its focus on soft skills. Since the very first day, I have been taught the importance of interpersonal relationships, networking, communication, and leadership. I learnt that besides strong academic knowledge, these soft skills are essential to succeed in our professional life. Before these two years, nobody ever brought up these aspects with me, so I have to thank LSE for it!

Additionally, London is a dynamic and stimulating environment to be in, so location is another highlight.

Overall a great experience with great people, interesting classes and excellent exchange options (eg Yale, University of Chicago, HEC or Tsinghua). I would definitely recommend this program to others.

Great professors and fellow students that inspire you every day. The campus is in the center of London which gives students easy access to both university-related and non-university related activities.

The university has given great career prospects, offered great career events and some professors were very good. Some modules were below expectations but the double degree with CEMS was a great experience both at LSE and on exchange.

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)
