London School of Economics
La London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) è una delle principali università di scienze sociali del mondo. La LSE ha aperto le sue porte nel 1895 con tre aule e 200 studenti. Oggi più di 11.000 studenti studiano per la laurea nel nostro campus centrale di Londra, mentre più di 40.000 altri studiano nel campus o a distanza. Ma mentre molto è cambiato, una cosa rimane costante: il loro impegno per la visione originale della LSE, come “una comunità di persone e idee, fondata per conoscere le cause delle cose, per il miglioramento della società”.
