From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The London School of Economics and Political Science, often called the LSE, is one of the world's major specialist universities in economics and social sciences. It has had perhaps more impact on the shape of the modern political world than any other university institution. It was founded in 1895 by Beatrice and Sidney Webb. It is a constituent college of the University of London.
The LSE is located on Houghton Street in London, off the Aldwych. The school is regarded as a major centre of political debate and includes among its alumni 80 members of the lower and upper houses of the UK government and 30 past or present heads of states. A quarter of all the Nobel prizes awarded in economics have been closely connected with LSE, and the School is also regarded as a pace-maker in the study of international relations, social philosophy,anthropology, sociology, and social policy.
