At the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), their mission to transform society through knowledge comes first. So when they were exploring new ways to expand their reach to more students globally, going online was top of mind.

Realizing the potential.

A world-leading social science university, LSE has long been dedicated to creating a better society through better education. To advance that mission—and to change more lives across the world—they partnered with us to create a number of innovative online short courses.
Building on the successful quality and scale of LSE’s short courses, we expanded our partnership with the school and with the University of London, of which LSE is a member institution. Together, we’re developing online undergraduate degrees ranging from economics and management to data science and business analytics.

I feel every second invested was time well spent, and I'm confident that I can make a difference in a super-informed way now.
