As the top social policy department in the world, my colleagues and I are committed to provide a rigorous interdisciplinary and internationally-oriented education for the next generation of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. Students leave LSE with a toolkit of important skills that can be used in whichever career they ultimately choose; they will be able to think conceptually, analytically, and critically, and then express these thoughts in a coherent and compelling way.

Visit the Department’s webpage to learn more about our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes and the wide variety of exciting courses we offer all students at LSE.

Applying for schools can be a stressful process that rarely goes exactly to plan. It can lead to frustration and sometimes heartache. Whether or not you are offered a place at your top choice—be it LSE or another institution—you will still be OK! The decisions made today will not forever dictate your future career, or the path you ultimately take to get there.
