Undergraduate study at LSE is designed for students who are keen to engage critically with their chosen discipline and who want to apply their learning to real world situations. This means you’ll be taught core theory related to your programme of study alongside specialist disciplinary and research skills, and have opportunities to use those skills in real world contexts as you progress through your degree. 

You’ll be exposed to state-of-the-art social sciences research , often through teaching from the very academics who have carried out that research. You’ll have opportunities to participate in projects, discussions and events that are part of LSE’s daily intellectual life. 

Whichever degree programme you choose, you’ll have access to a range of support , both within your department and beyond. This will enable you to make the most of your LSE education and help equip you, professionally and personally, for whatever you do after you graduate.

Our degrees

Our degrees are intended to provide students with a sound intellectual background rather than professional training. LSE graduates go on to a range of careers which are rarely restricted by the choice of degree subject. Success in your degree and in your subsequent career is best achieved by choosing subjects that interest you and that you are good at.

Financial support

We recognise that the cost of living in London may be higher than in your home town or country. That’s one of the reasons we provide such generous funding for undergraduate students . Help isn’t limited to UK students. Our funding is available to eligible UK, EU and overseas students, such as the funding awarded by the Uggla Family Scholars Programme . You may also be able to apply for funding from your own government.

How to apply

You need to make your application through UCAS . We don’t consider applications made in any other way. Minimum entry requirement vary depending on the programme. Browse our undergraduate programmes .

Welcome to Researching Sociology

Researching Sociology  is a blog based in the Department of Sociology at LSE.

It was first established by a group of PhD students in 2013 and used as a forum to share research and ideas. Since then, it has evolved into a hub for academics and students alike; a space to discuss sociology of all varieties, sociological understandings and reflections on current affairs, and experiences of studying or teaching sociology.

Each blog post gives the views of the individual author(s), not the position of the Department of Sociology, nor the LSE as a whole. All posts published on  Researching Sociology  remain the intellectual property and copyright of the author(s).

New Sociological Perspectives

Focus and Scope

Our objective is to foster the sociological academic debate by publishing PhD and master’s students’ outstanding research from all over the world, encouraging an interdisciplinary and original approach to theory and methodology as well as diversity in the positionalities of its authors.

We recognise that knowledge production in Sociology continues to be affected by hierarchies of power and knowledge, which are structured along the lines of race, class, gender, sexuality and (dis-)ability amongst others. We aim to work against these hierarchies; this affects the work we publish as well as the way we work as an editorial board. 

Moreover, we believe that the way that social issues are represented has real-world effects. This means that we pursue a purposeful, engaged and caring approach to social research. Our board doesn’t publish for its own sake; we aim to foster sociological critique that gathers concern with and care for real issues.

In practice, this means publishing scholarship that pushes our discipline to be more ethical, reflexive, socially engaged and that challenges global hegemonies. Our board works as a collective. Recognising the relationship between the interpersonal and wider politics of knowledge production, we reflect on and try to work against internal hierarchies. Furthermore, given the existing barriers to early-career scholars at the Master’s and doctoral level within the academy, we seek to provide a platform for high-quality research for those who face these obstacles elsewhere.

Publication Frequency

New Sociological Perspectives is published bi-annually online each spring and autumn. We will publish an issue every five or six months, varying slightly to accommodate the review process.

We aim to publish up to ten peer-reviewed articles per issue; however, for us, quality is a higher priority than quantity. Articles will be made available as soon as they are ready to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays in making content publically accessible.

We will publish up to ten book reviews and translations in each issue.

Open Access Policy

Houghton St Press is an open access publisher, and all of our publications are free to read and published under Creative Commons licences.

Journal Archiving

Houghton St Press registers our journals and books with as many suitable indexes as possible. All of our article metadata are openly available for harvesting by indexing services via OAI-PMH and the journals are registered with Open Archives for discovery.

Houghton St Press content is LOCKSS enabled, and copies of all Houghton St Press publications are made available from LSE Research Online, the School’s open access repository.

Annotation and post-publication comment

The journal platform permits readers to leave comments and in-browser annotations via hypothes.is . Readers will require a  hypothes.is account to create annotations, and will have the option to make these public or private. Comments may be moderated by the journal, however, if they are non-offensive and relevant to the publication subject, comments will remain online without edit.

Advertisement policy

The journal only displays advertisements that are of relevance to its scope and will be of interest to the readership (e.g. upcoming conferences). All advertising space is provided free of charge and the editor and publisher have the right to decline or withdraw adverts at any point. Adverts will include a text heading to make it clear that they are adverts not related to the journal.

If you wish to propose a potential advert then please contact the  editorial team . All advert images will have to be provided to the publisher.

The NSP Blog

Part of our commitment at New Sociological Perspectives is to enrich the sociological debate with graduate students' critical, diverse and innovative research from all over the world. In line with this mission, we opened this Blog as a space for students’ original work that might not fit the formal requirements of an academic journal article, but nonetheless explores some novel and insightful themes related to researching, teaching, and studying sociology. 

 While our journal caters to a largely academic audience, the New Sociological Perspectives Blog aims at a wider, public audience beyond the ivory tower of academia.  In line with the ideal of a ‘public sociology’, we hope that this blog will foster active connections and debates between students, early career academics, and wider society.  We welcome blog proposals that engage with theoretical discussions as well as topical and social issues that involve activists, social movement organisations, , volunteers, NGOs, Think Tanks, and local communities active in civil society.

 We recognise that the written article is not the only form in which sociological thinking can be cultivated. For this reason, we encourage you to submit any original content that you may have created to convey your research ideas and reflections (e.g. short videos, photo essays, audio content, graphic essays, sociological fiction, etc.).

 Finally, this blog has also been opened to bring students together at a more practical level; we are thus open to blog proposals from students and early academics that want to share useful career and research tips based on their personal experience; common problems and solutions for writing a dissertation, publishing the first paper, etc.

 If you'd be interested to write for us, please look at our Blog Guidelines for more information about contacts, content, format, and the editing process. We are looking forward to receiving your proposals!

Felipe Araneda Ávila (2023)

Felipe is a PhD student at the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge. He holds an MSc in Economy, Risk and Society at the London School of Economics (LSE) and BA in Sociology at Universidad Alberto Hurtado.

His work focuses on the intersections between digital media, STS and political ecology. More specifically, his study aims to understand how digital restoration platforms are transforming the materialities, practices and governance of conservation initiatives in the Chilean Patagonia. By doing that, his work seeks to give some insights about how new forms of neoliberal conservation are consolidated and what consequences emerge for natural ecosystems and human actors.
