Undergraduate

BSc Development and Economics

Lead College: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

The London School of Economics and Political Science is the world's leading social science institution for teaching and research.

A 'laboratory of the social sciences', the School's academic profile spans a wide range of disciplines, from Economics, International Relations, Government and Law, to Sociology, Information Systems, and Accounting and Finance.

The LSE was founded in 1895 by Beatrice and Sidney Webb, members of the Fabian Society. They believed that social reform could be achieved through gradual and patient argument. Over the years the LSE has maintained this belief by creating an environment where ideas are developed, analysed, evaluated and disseminated around the globe. The LSE has an outstanding reputation for academic excellence across the full range of social, political and economic sciences.

The LSE alumni and former staff include 13 Nobel Prize winners and 28 past or present Heads of State.

This provides an opportunity for graduates of any discipline to gain an additional undergraduate degree by following a shorter than normal programme, successfully completing nine full units rather than twelve. This can normally be achieved in a minimum of two years with the exception of the BSc Economics, BSc Economics & Finance, BSc Development & Economics and the BSc Information Systems & Management.
