Undergraduate degree programmes
LSE is a centre for the study of the social sciences and this is reflected in its Language Centre.
Our courses focus on language and society, encouraging you to learn how to use language in the contexts you would like to live, study and work in. We teach people to speak languages, but also teach about language (socio-linguistics/intercultural communication) and offer a range of courses on literature and society. Our joint degrees provide more formal pathways to study with us. At LSE we study social phenomena and human behaviour. We teach the language needed to understand these things in different contexts and different countries.
