Advantages: Excellant balanced education, Topical, Great support

Disadvantages: ?

I am currently in my third year studying a law degree (LLB) at the LSE, and I have to say it is EXCELLANT.

The reason I love the course so much is the way LSE approaches it. Many other universities adopt a black-letter approach to their teaching, teaching statutory law [the actual Acts passed by Parliament], instead LSE builds on political/economic/social factors to explain why the law has developed in this way.

This approach is much more pragmatic, giving the student a broad understanding of how law fits into society, not just limiting students to discrete (and slightly disorientating) subject areas.

LSE is one of the top three or four universities in the country and this is reflected by its student population. The diversity of cultural backgrounds combines with this academic ability to create a wealth of discussion and education. I have really enjoyed meeting such a variety of people since I have been here, and this is similarly reflected in the seminars and classes run for the law degree.

I find it hard to imagine that univerisities which lack such cultural diversification can support the education offered by LSE.

In addition, LSE is in an ideal position for law graduates. Close to all of the city firms and the college of law..... this has meant excellant provision of careers information and guidance.... I feel confident in recommending the LLB at LSe and hope many of you read this review and apply yourselves.
