My year spent at LSE was one of the most rewarding intellectual experiences of my life. Every member of the faculty with whom I dealt was brilliant, engaging, and stimulating, and the course materials were great. Add to that the rich variety of seminars and special lectures always available, as well as the location in the heart […]

My time studying at the LSE was undoubtedly the most rewarding academic experience I’ve had. The courses were well structured and the lecturers had a contagious enthusiasm for the subjects they taught that transferred onto their students. It was both a joy and a privilege to study and learn under the guidance of faculty members who were […]

Currently, I am a PhD student at the European School of Molecular Medicine in Milan. I consider the experience I had at the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method as the building block of my personality and of my philosophical formation.

LSE’s MSc programme in the Philosophy & History of Science was a breath of fresh air after three years of undergraduate mathematics. The class came together from a remarkably diverse range of backgrounds — academically, socially and culturally — which made for some fascinating and at times passionate discussions. Ever wondered what you get if you put […]

In 2005-6, I was a MSc student in the Philosophy & History of Science track. In the intensive one-year course, I studied the philosophy of science and physics at LSE and took an intercollegiate course at UCL in the philosophy of mathematics. Now a doctorate student in UC Berkeley’s Logic Group, I look back at my time […]

I arrived at the LSE with a degree in mathematics but no formal training in philosophy. The tight curriculum of the MSc in Philosophy and History of Science enabled me to learn in a very short time about the current debates in the philosophy of science and put me in an excellent starting position for PhD work […]

Tom Cunningham is pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics at LSE. He writes, ‘I enjoyed the MSc economics & philosophy program a great deal. In the philosophy seminars we were able to chew and digest the material I learned in the economics courses. The other students taking the program have become close friends. It wasn’t straight-forward to enter […]

I attended the London School of Economics to supplement my existing graduate work in philosophy prior to my going on to the job market. The education I received surpassed my expectations: in addition to general survey courses, the program offers in-depth instruction in specific topics by leading authorities in the philosophy of science and social science. Students […]
