London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

The London School of Economics and Political Science, commonly referred to as the London School of Economics or LSE, is a specialist constituent college of the University of London in London, England. Founded in 1895 by Fabian Society members Sidney Webb, Beatrice Webb and George Bernard Shaw, the School joined the federal University of London in 1900 as the Faculty of Economics. Degrees were issued to the school’s students from 1902 onwards.

Today, the LSE remains a specialist single-faculty constituent college of the University with just 8,700 full-time students. It describes itself as the world’s leading social science institution for teaching and research, which spans the full breadth of the social sciences. It is among the world’s most selective universities, with the lowest admissions rate of any university in Britain. LSE has also produced many notable alumni including several Nobel laureates as well as many foreign heads of state.
