Study Facilities at LSE

LSE Library

Founded in 1896, a year after the foundation of LSE, the LSE Library is now the largest library for social science materials in the country. Today's library was recently redesigned by award winning architect Norman Foster. Its collections consist of over four million printed items and more than 60,000 e-journals. Our law collection is particularly rich in English, foreign and international law and supported by our extensive collections of UK government and intergovernmental publications. The LSE Library is conveniently located within a few minutes walking distance of LSE Law and is open from 8am to midnight during term times. In the library, you will find computer work stations, group study rooms, and quiet study zones.

LSE Language Centre

While at LSE, you will be able to use our language centre, which offers a support programme for non-native English speakers during their time at LSE. You can take advantage of a pre-term programme designed to help you improve your English for academic purposes, and in term support classes that allow you to develop your academic writing and communication skills as well as your exam writing skills. In addition, our students can choose from a wide variety of extracurricular foreign language courses offered at different levels of ability to suit those with background knowledge in a foreign language.

Pastoral care

LLB students benefit from the Academic Adviser system in place at LSE Law. All students are allocated a member of staff who functions as a point of contact for questions regarding course choice, exam strategy, or generally the structure and operation of the LLB programme. In addition, in case of problems of a personal nature affecting your studies, LSE offers a number of support services which provide advice and assistance in the areas of: residential accommodation, financial advice, counselling, disability support, and healthcare. These services are generally free of charge for our students.
