Personalised one-to-one advice from study advisers, English-language teachers, librarians, careers advisers, and other specialists;
Special events to take advantage of what LSE and London have to offer and to prepare for life after LSE;

Why LSE LIFE

The educational experiences of LSE’s undergraduate and taught master’s students lie at the heart of the LSE Education Strategy 2015-2020. Specifically, the Strategy includes aspirations that LSE graduates be critical, analytically sophisticated and globally employable; that students be provided with opportunities to develop skills that will prepare them, academically, personally and professionally, for life at LSE and beyond; and that students and staff together benefit from the School’s vibrant intellectual culture.

We, at LSE LIFE, play a part in by offering a space where students can come to learn more about themselves, and develop key areas that they are interested in – be it skills to help with their studies, with their future plans, or with the personal interests. We aim to build a community where all students are welcome to come and join us in whatever capacity suits them best.

Where we are

LSE LIFE is housed in a specially designed centre on the ground floor of the LSE Library. The team is on hand to help with queries, concerns or just conversation Monday to Friday, 10:00 - 18:00.
