As one of the leading social science universities in the world we bring a research and teaching expertise honed over a period of over 125 years to the programmes we teach around the world. The LSE has always had an international focus even when most Universities were primarily concerned with national priorities and students. Our working relationship with Teaching Centres is simply a further element of that international focus.

Join a community of over 30 University of London Recognised Teaching Centres, in more than 20 countries who teach the EMFSS programmes with academic direction from the London School of Economics and Political Science. With over 11,000 students studying EMFSS programmes globally, you can become a member of this elite network of excellence in academic delivery.

Our Recognised Teaching Centres are responsible for delivering course content to students locally, with resources produced by top LSE academics, and providing the key components of an enriching campus experience and student peer groups. Teaching Centres work closely with the LSE, which provides academic direction, and the University of London which acts as the degree-awarding body.

We guide prospective Teaching Centres through an extensive standards and onboarding process. This ensures all new Teaching Centres can meet and uphold the academic rigour for which the programmes are known and respected for and provide appropriate support to their students. This process maintains the important contribution that EMFSS programmes make towards LSE’s mission by extending our international reach and educating for truly global impact.
