LSE is a highly competitive institution.
The high level of competition means that achieving, or being predicted to achieve, our usual standard offer grades does not guarantee that an offer of admission will be made.
In 2023, we received approximately 26,000 applications for roughly 1,800 places..
Demography is the statistical study of human populations.
Demographers use census data, surveys, and statistical models to analyze the size, movement, and structure of populations..
Demographic economics is the use of population data as a way to study the patterns of behavior among groups of people that impact the economy.
This is also why it is known as population economics.
Demographics are statistics about groups of people that help to identify groups for tracking and research purposes..
