The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is a public university in London and a member institution of the University of London. It was founded in 1895 by Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Graham Wallas and George Bernard Shaw, and joined the University of London in 1900.

The campus is a cluster of buildings around Houghton Street, Clare Market and Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the borough of Westminster, close to the Royal Courts of Justice and Covent Garden. Departments and institutes cover economics, finance, accounting, management, law, government, international relations, sociology, social policy, anthropology, economic history, geography and environment, statistics, methodology, philosophy, and related fields.
Teaching is in English. A large share of students, especially at master's level, come from outside the United Kingdom. Fees depend on fee status and programme and are published by LSE each year.
