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.
