Although our primary concern is providing world-class education, we want to ensure that our students make the most of the time spent with us at the LSE.
We offer a wide range of social activities, solely for our students. We hope that in doing so we are able to provide our students with an opportunity to experience something new in London, and a chance to meet other students.
Events and activities include:
- LSE events and receptions
- West End Theatre trips
- Visits to Oxford, Cambridge and Bath
- More of our 2019 programme to be announced soon!
