Great Experience

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.

An honest review

While the first year was full of compulsory modules and slightly overwhelming, I have really enjoyed the last two years. They have allowed me to explore what I am genuinely interested in (specifically human rights) by offering such a wide range of modules. This is what I have enjoyed most out of the course. There was a long directory of modules to choose from in the last two years, all with different types of assignments (either entirely exam-based, entirely coursework or a mixture of the two). As I picked mostly human-rights based modules and such, I have realised that I want to work in this field too, and am also preparing to apply to a masters in this field within the next two years. However, some of the module assignments changed after registration in the third year, and this caused some problems in the last semester when students tried to change modules, as each module change is done manually in the Politics department. I know that some students, including myself, were unhappy with this experience when modules filled up too quickly. Student support has been amazing. Lecturers and professors have been very helpful with assignment-support. The help has ranged from office hours to telephone calls and emails. In my second and third year, I have found this particularly helpful in pushing my grade higher as lecturers are always open to looking over essay and assignment plans and offering helpful advice. One small problem that I encountered with this in the third year was that marking criteria was inconsistent with some modules and lecturers. However, this was only limited to one or two modules, and overall, I was happy with my experience. Career support is also very good. I only started using the resources available from the careers office this year, but it has been a good experience. Meetings are available every week and I have used them to get my cover letter checked as well as having a mock interview for an internship. This really helped me to prepare for possible questions as it was my first interview. I would definitely recommend this course and university to a friend. I have enjoyed my time and know what I want to do in the future career-wise.
