About the London School of Economics and Political Science
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) studies the social sciences in their broadest sense, with an academic profile spanning disciplines from economics, politics and law, to sociology, information systems and accounting and finance. Founded in 1895, LSE has an outstanding reputation for academic excellence. LSE is small, specialist and one of the most international universities in the world. The School has around 7,500 full-time students and over 800 part-time students from 152 countries. A total of 97 per cent of academics are actively engaged in research. In the most recent national research assessment in the UK (2001), LSE came second after Cambridge for the quality of its research - and top if only the social sciences are taken into account. LSE staff advise governments, serve on Royal Commissions, public bodies and government inquiries, and are seconded to national and international organisations. The School is in contact with around 70,000 alumni. Thirteen Nobel Prize winners in economics, peace and literature, have been either LSE staff or alumni. Many world leaders have also studied at the School. Howard Davies is Director of the School, which had an income of £121.6 million for the financial year ending 31 July 2003. Research income was £14.1 million, with research turnover accounting for 12 per cent of total income.
