LSE


The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is the world's leading dedicated social science institution. Founded in 1895, LSE enjoys a global reputation for academic excellence. All of LSE's teaching and research is undertaken from a social science perspective, giving the institution a unique approach to otherwise common fields. Around 69% of LSE's students, and more than 40% of its academic staff, originate from outside the UK. Students are selected for their academic commitment and ability and the global diversity of the students and staff ensures that LSE's education is truly international.

LSE offers 38 undergraduate (BSc) degrees and over 140 taught postgraduate (MSc) programmes across 30 departments or institutes. As a 'laboratory of the social sciences', the School's academic profile spans a wide range of disciplines, from accounting to law, management to urbanisation.

Students looking for entry to LSE's undergraduate programmes should hold three GCE A levels, or a suitable foundation programme from a university in the UK, or have successfully completed at least one year at a university in Indonesia. To be considered for admission to the Graduate School we require the Magister (S2), with grades of B+ or 3.5/4. Applicants with the Sarjana (S1) may also be considered with exceptional grades.



LSE makes over £12 million of need and merit based financial aid available to its students each year. Awards range from a contribution to tuition fees to full coverage of all expenses.
