Support the future of the LSE Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method

LSE is privileged to enjoy the generous support of alumni and friends who support the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method through philanthropy.

Every gift you make, no matter the size, is a demonstration of faith in our academic department and our students and an investment in the Department’s future as a world-leading centre for philosophy that is continuous with the social and natural sciences and is socially relevant.

Invest in Excellence

A gift to our department will empower us to invest in the areas of greatest need and promote initiatives that require flexible or additional funding.

Your contribution will improve our teaching, student experience, and student scholarship programme. In the coming years, we seek to:

Empower Futures: We aim to establish an LSE Philosophy Scholarship programme for undergraduate and postgraduate applicants from all over the world. It will aim to offer access to our outstanding interdisciplinary degrees to students who demonstrate exceptional potential but lack the financial means to fully pursue their academic ambitions.

Enrich Student Life: We aim to increase our investment in a wide range of social and educational events that foster community, personal development, and professional growth for students. With your support, we will continue to create and enhance initiatives including:

  • Student bursaries for the annual Cumberland Lodge weekend, so that students of all means can be included
  • Hosting a national competition, the Ethics Cup, in which secondary school students debate moral issues
  • Funding our Minorities and Philosophy chapter, which supports students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds

and other initiatives aimed at making student events more diverse and inclusive.

Discuss your Philanthropy

We can also help to match your generous philanthropy with longer-term priorities that enhance our academic department. We are currently seeking partners who share our vision of ensuring the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method continues to do world-leading interdisciplinary, socially relevant philosophy.

We would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about how you can help the department to continue to work towards its strategic priorities.

We can work with you to build on your relationship with LSE and discuss how your philanthropic and personal interests can be fulfilled through giving opportunities that are meaningful to you. We also work with trusts, foundations and corporations to develop partnerships.
