About the Scholarship Provider:
The London School of Economics and Political Science is the university in the United Kingdom that has the highest proportion of international students because more than half of its current student body of 10,000 hails from a country other than the United Kingdom. The school’s primary focus is on the humanities and social sciences. In addition to this, the acclaimed Russell Group, which is composed of 24 of the most prestigious educational institutions in the United Kingdom, counts the London School of Economics and Political Science as one of its members. The London School of Economics takes great satisfaction in the fact that its student body is among the most brilliant and motivated in the country. This is something that the school has worked hard to achieve. This claim is reinforced by the fact that the borrowing rate at the LSE library, which is the largest library in the world that is devoted to the social sciences, is currently four times higher than the average borrowing rate for the rest of the country. In addition, graduates of the institution are eligible for some of the highest starting incomes and employment rates in the business after they have completed their studies at the university.
There have been a total of 16 Nobel Prize winners who have either worked there or attended the school at the London School of Economics, and the school consistently places in the top rankings on league tables both nationally and internationally. This is due to the fact that the school is regarded as one of the best economics schools in the world. Due to the fact that around two-thirds of London School of Economics students are not from the United Kingdom, the university is often regarded as one of the most multicultural institutions of higher education anywhere in the world. Because of this, the London School of Economics is in an excellent position to welcome, look after, and provide the greatest possible advice and assistance to any new international students who begin their studies there. The counselling team at the Student Services Centre is able to provide information on all of the administrative services that are linked with the courses and assessments, in addition to the ceremonies, tests, and financial aid that may be available.
If you submit your application to the London School of Economics by the May 15th deadline, the school will guarantee that you will have a place in one of the university’s residential halls for your first year of school there. The University of London and its partner institutions make available a broader choice of housing options, and the Accommodation Office is able to assist you in choosing the housing option that, during your time at the University of London, will best fit your requirements in terms of both cost and convenience. The London School of Economics and Political Science enjoys a convenient position in the heart of the city, near to Covent Garden as well as the Thames River, and is only a short distance away from either of these landmarks by foot. There are five international airports that serve the city of London, and any one of them can be reached in less than an hour by using one of the many train stations that are located around the city.
Because London is home to such a large assortment of museums, galleries, parks, and other attractions, LSE students can rest confident that they will never feel boredom while living in one of the world’s most active cities. The majority of London’s attractions are free of charge, so LSE students won’t have to worry about spending a lot of money to have a good time in London. Because of the outstanding reputation of the university and its strong links with major businesses, you will have a plethora of options to make your mark on the world. Because of its position in the metropolis, the institution is able to offer students the chance to participate in internships and professional networking events at the hundreds of prestigious organisations that are headquartered in the city. There have been more than 30 current or previous heads of state who have either attended the university as students or taught there at some point in its history. In addition, there have been a total of 16 individuals who were awarded the Nobel Prize in economics or literature while they were associated with the University in some manner.
