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

The statistics department has been great so far. The students and the coordinators are all helpful. Several departmental activities take place throughout the term. These include departmental lectures and networking sessions with alumni. All these have been insightful.

I pretty much enjoy working with students from this school who are all passionate learners and driven workers. I like to talk with them and talks always inspire me in one way or another, Also, professors are knowledgeable and approachable.

The university prepares its students well for a professional career by sharpening the analytical ability and increases intellectual wellness by providing a platform to engage and interact with world leaders. A recommendation would be to actively encourage and support entrepreneurship through study programmes, funding, networking and working spaces.

Coming to LSE has been a rewarding experience for me. The course structure is designed to challenge one’s analytical skills and thinking. Over and about that it is designed such that each year it is improved or changed to fit the ever growing and changing industry. Specifically for my course, coding and programming have been incorporated into the course to ensure that we are prepared for the work environment after university. I can 100% recommend LSE to everyone who’s looking into a rewarding university experience

It is what you make of it. Despite the terrible student satisfaction scores, I have had an unbelievable time. The work is very challenging but worth it if you put the work in. The social life is great if you join an AU club, otherwise, I’m not so sure.

The diversity of the societies and activities at the university and the vast range of events that are organised for our benefit is overwhelming. It is a very friendly and productive environment with a supportive pressure to perform well and a very career-driven atmosphere.

Best uni especially for career prospect and academia, variety of opportunities for careers, self-improvements, academia and socialising. Some departments like law also has their own common room whilst others gather in the library

The course I picked, BSc Financial Mathematics and Statistics is one of the most demanding courses at LSE, but is worth it, as the work you put in ultimately translates to your results. You do have leisure time to go out and spend time with friends as well as studying. The work ethic at LSE is overall very strong, with people pushing each other to work as hard as they can.

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There’s a certain sense of community that is special to the university.
The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

For sure the location of the campus couldn’t be slightly better – extreme central, next to City of London/Covent Gardent/Soho/Chinatown. Can explore London as much as you want, though it does cause distraction. As a Statistics student, felt not paid attention enough. In terms of careers guidance, only actuarial direction provided, while more trading/structuring/data analytics could be encouraged.
