We remain faithful to our tradition. Experts at the School work closely with political leaders, business corporations and public sector officials.

Courses range from traditional core Economics and Finance subjects to those concerned with contemporary politics and management practice.

The atmosphere around campus is convivial and interactive, you may develop friendships which will last well beyond the programme. Aside from the course you are taking at the School, the most important aspect of your time in London is likely to be the place in which you live and the Summer School programme can provide accommodation in one the 4 available residences. The residences are all located in central London and are a short walk or journey from the LSE. Whilst the Summer School involves an intense period of study for its participants, it also provides an opportunity to travel in Europe or the United Kingdom during the weekends or before and after the programme. The LSE and it's residences are well served by good transport connections and so London's airports or the Eurostar are a short journey away.
