London School of Economics and Political Science Vision and strategy

LSE was founded 1895 by four idealistic young Fabians for the "betterment of society". It adopted rerum cognoscere causas, which means to know the causes of things, as its motto.

The desire to bring academic expertise to bear on the problems of society motivated the founders of LSE and underpins the School's vision and strategy today.

The School’s vision for the next five years, 2010-15, is:

to deliver challenging, stimulating, research led degree programmes in an environment that supports learning and develops independent thinking among our students
to ensure that our research and teaching remain at the forefront of the social sciences, addressing the evolving challenges of society
to be among the most internationally-oriented centres of social science excellence in the world and
to extend our engagement with society across our full academic portfolio and in key regions of the world. This vision for the future is underpinned by three priorities for the School – all of which will be tackled with equal commitment.

Teaching and student experience

Students at LSE receive research-led teaching from an internationally renowned academic staff. At the heart of this is intellectual challenge. Through exposure to the latest developments in social science and to the thinking of visiting world leaders, business figures and academics in debates and public lectures, students are challenged and inspired by LSE's vision of intellectual excellence combined with real-world engagement.

In 2009-10, LSE will focus on increasing contact hours between permanent academic staff and undergraduate students; reducing postgraduate class sizes; improving teaching quality, staff and student contact and student satisfaction levels in relation to the academic experience, including Library and IT services. It will also continue to improve its estate, in particular progress the red
