The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is a public university. It is part of the University of London, a federal public research university. LSE receives significant government funding and operates under UK higher education regulations, aligning with public institutions’ standards.
However, LSE also relies on private donations, tuition fees, and research grants, which is common among UK public universities. Its governance structure and funding model reflect its public status, though it maintains financial independence in certain areas. LSE is renowned globally for social sciences and is subject to the same oversight as other UK public universities.
