We are proud to celebrate LSE being named number one university in the UK by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide for the second year running (2025 and 2026). LSE was also named the "University of the Year" for academic performance.
This in addition to being named top university in London for its sixth consecutive year in the Guardian University Guide 2026 league table – placing fourth across the UK overall.
