Bearing the title of being one of the top economics universities in the world inevitably signifies that academics at this the LSE particularly economics is bound to be challenging. Some of this burden is alleviated by the attentive tutors and top quality resources as well as plethora of co-curricular opportunities to overcome the stress. That said being a non-campus university in the heart of London meets the obvious challenge of having students scattered all over London and a lacking sense of belonging or identity in the university. Forging a stronger sense of belonging and support for the students by holding more in campus activities and programs would help with this cause and alleviate the student satisfaction ranking.

Studying Economics at LSE opens you to gain further understanding of the wider implications of economics in the world today whilst also using quantitative and qualitative theories to enrich this. The course also allows you to learn outside modules such as accounting, finance, geography, etc, in which you have the opportunity to widen your knowledge about other modules that aren’t necessarily based on your degree. Simultaneously, the degree consists of group projects such as the first-year challenge which enables us as students to not only learn the theoretical concepts but think like economists and apply our knowledge.

Besides academics, the degree has excellent academic support through student mentors, LSE life, and peer support schemes. On the social side, there’s always something to get involved in whether that’s social involvement or volunteering! LSE also provides a great career hub service, providing 1-1 help with spring week applications.

Overall, the degree is inevitably challenging but the nature of the content is intriguing!

Despite low student satisfaction ratios, I think the LSE dealt with the covid situation effectively. It provided me with a lot of professional opportunities which helped me secure a very competitive job in one of the best banks in the industry. The counselling and advice offered through various societies were remarkable and student facilities were great. The centre building along with the LSE library were my favourite spots to both hang out and study on campus.

My degree was very challenging but there was always academic help available. The only thing LSE should work on is their mental health counselling service. It is very hard to get appointments unless one mentions that they’re feeling suicidal. There is often a huge wait on getting appointments and I think it is best if LSE does something about it.

Good academics, teaching standards and career prospects in general. Lack of focus on student well being with a lot under high levels of stress. Also a lot more funding could be given to societies to help run events.

Teaching can be improved but overall the course is quite interesting, even though the course material can be structured better. The newer facilities are quite good but more social events could be held for the department.

The courses provided at LSE are great, being rigorous and having great content. The professors are all specialists in their field. However, the actual classes and the teaching could be improved, as well as the facilities and activities- there is a lack of a sense of community sometimes.

It is a great university, with amazing professors and highly intellectual students. The only concern is the number of spaces in the library which are significantly low especially during exams session.

LSE is very good for career prospects. I have had access to opportunities that I think would only be available in a select few universities. The people here are also very driven which will ultimately bring the best out in me.

I think there is too much work to keep up with. However, professors are very engaging. Classes could be more attentive. The university in general is too expensive, more could be done to subsidise. But all in all good.

Not enough faculty time, teachers sometimes don’t care. Courses are great, professors are great. Student life okay. The campus of LSE and structure is not that good because the campus is here and there but the societies are good.
