London School of Economics and Political Science - Department of Industrial Relations

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is unique in the United Kingdom in its concentration on teaching and research across the full range of the social, political and economic sciences. Founded in 1895, the LSE is one of the largest colleges within the University of London and has an outstanding reputation for academic excellence nationally and internationally.

It is an unusual UK university. Few university institutions in the world are as international. The study of social, economic and political problems covers not only the United Kingdom and other countries within the European Union, but also countries of every continent. The School is a world centre for advanced research in the social, political and economic sciences. Most of LSE's 19 research centres and units are entirely financed by industry, commerce, research councils or charitable foundations.

The Department of Industrial Relations is one of the world's leading centres for teaching and research in the field. The research has twice received a 5 rating in Research Assessment Exercises. The work is regularly published in the leading international journals and is widely cited both in the UK and overseas. The department now houses two of the world's leading industrial relations journals (the British, and the European Journals of Industrial Relations respectively). There are currently 13.5 FTE academic staff.
