LSE offers a unique opportunity to study the social sciences. You will be in an university institution with a worldwide academic reputation, while enjoying the cultural, social and recreational facilities of one of the world’s great capital cities and a focal point in the increasing integration of Europe.
Outstanding reputation
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is a world class centre for its concentration of teaching and research across the full range of the social, political and economic sciences. LSE has an outstanding reputation for academic excellence. LSE offers a very wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the social sciences. Teaching is carried out through academic departments, interdisciplinary institutes and in partnership with internationally known higher education institutions. Studying in the heart of a multicultural city alongside students from across the world ensures an involved and comprehensive experience is enjoyed.
International contacts
Few university institutions in the world are as international. The study of social, economic and political problems covers not only the UK and European Union, but also countries of every continent. From its foundation LSE has aimed to be a laboratory of the social sciences, a place where ideas are developed, analysed, evaluated and disseminated around the globe. The School is a world centre for advanced research. In the 2001 UK Research Assessment Exercise carried out by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, the School’s research was rated second among around 200 universities and colleges. LSE has a cosmopolitan staff and student body, located within an urban, city centre campus. They come from 140 countries around the world: 34 per cent from the UK, 18 per cent from other European Union countries and 48 per cent from other countries around the world.

Scholarship Programme
The Paul Woolley Centre Scholarships Programme aims to support students pursuing postgraduate research in the areas covered by The Paul Woolley Centre research agenda. The Scholarships are awarded in June each year to maximum number of 3 outstanding PhD students who have been admitted to the PhD programme of the Finance Department or the Economics Department of the London School of Economics. The Scholarships will be awarded by a Scholarship Committee. The Scholarships will provide a stipend to support fees and/or living expenses. The amount of the award will depend on the number of students selected each year and their current financial position, but it could not exceed the standard LSE Scholarships, which include fees and a living allowance of up £13,000 per annum. The scholarships will be renewable on an annual basis after review. The Paul Woolley Centre Students will be based within the centre and the Financial Markets Group and will be expected to work closely with its staff and faculty.
Finding a place to live
Most LSE students live in privately rented housing and commute to the School every day. Arranging this type of accommodation is generally not possible before you arrive as you should always inspect a property to ensure it’s suitability and as landlords rarely make commitments to unseen tenants. This means that in order to find somewhere to live, you should come to London before the beginning of the academic session. If you’re not able to get to London early, you may wish to know that from the end of September we have negotiated deals for temporary accommodation with a number of Central London hotels.
