Our Education and student experience work at a glance
Building on our existing strengths, we want every student to have consistently excellent experiences at LSE, in the classroom and beyond, and feel part of LSE’s community.
LSE’s Education and Student Experience Strategy brings focus, direction and coordination to this work, and includes a wide range of programmes, projects and initiatives. Each one is improving a high priority aspect of education or students’ experiences at the School – and many also improve the experiences and support for academic and professional staff who work with students.
Our aim is to better support and equip colleagues with the tools they need, saving time and empowering them, as well as improving experiences for our students.
Our three ESE goals are:
1. Strengthening our educational offering
Key initiatives include:
- Deliver the support, tools, and spaces for enhanced and innovative teaching, learning and assessment
- Digital assessment and feedback systems
- Review academic model, year structure, Credit Framework, regulations, policies and processes
2. Creating and supporting a diverse student body
Key initiatives include:
- Enhanced mental health and wellbeing support
- Address gaps in Black and APP student exprience and outcomes
- Strengthen community, belonging, and voice for all students
3. Delivering a consistently excellent student experience
Key initiatives include:
- Seamless digital journey through LSE
- Improving essential 'behind the scenes' academic administration processes, systems and data
