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, as part of LSE’s scholarly 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 goals are: 

• 1. Strengthening LSE's educational offering: changes that enhance our programmes and courses, and assessment and feedback, such as digitisation and a focus on inclusion. 
• 2. Creating and supporting a diverse student body: recruiting a more diverse community and better supporting all students during their time at LSE, with a particular focus on mental health and wellbeing, and building community.
• 3. Delivering a consistently excellent student experience: improving essential 'behind the scenes' academic administration, promoting student voice and partnership, and enhancing extracurricular opportunities.
