The high quality research environment in the Department enables academics to draw on their own research in their lectures and seminars. The teaching is 'research-led' - a term that means far more than the teaching being empirically based on up-to-date research, but that those teaching have an enthusiasm and energy that puts them at the forefront of policy debates and which engenders a sense of involvement, potential and confidence in those studying social policy at LSE.
