Study
The
information given on this web site introduces you to many new
and exciting opportunities. Studying for a higher qualification
cannot only improve your career prospects, but can also increase
your understanding of how and why modern societies function
the way they do. You will learn new perspectives and be encouraged
to think both critically and creatively.
LSE
External Study is extremely proud of its role with the University
of London's International Programmes. The office at the LSE is responsible
for the academic development, direction and assessment of the
programmes described on this site. The School motto is rerum
cognoscere causas: 'to understand the cause of things';. The
University believe it is important to think about why things
occur, rather than just describe them. The University encourage
you to do the same.
Most
students enjoy their studies and greatly benefit from the experience.
Many achieve excellent results. Studying as an External student
in the social sciences is very rewarding, but also very demanding.
It requires a major commitment on your part. You will have to
work hard, but the end result is well worth the effort. Some
of the degrees will give you the necessary grounding for a professional
career; others will prepare you more generally for work in commerce
or public service. All degrees, however, will provide you with
a foundation for further study.
The
University very much look forward to welcoming you as an External
student.
