Such universities can be recognized by their strong focus on innovative research and the prestige of their brand names. On the one hand, research universities strive to recruit faculty who are the most brilliant minds in their disciplines in the world, and their students enjoy the opportunity to learn from such experts. On the other hand, new students are often disappointed to realize their undergraduate courses at research universities are overly academic and fail to provide vocational training with immediate "real world" applications; but many employers value degrees from research universities because they know that such coursework develops fundamental skills like critical thinking. , The London School of Economics (officially The London School of Economics and Political Science; often referred to as LSE) is a public research university located in London, England and a constituent college of the federal University of London.

The School is generally recognised as one of the most prestigious universities in the world and as one of the world's leading social science universities, ranked among the top 10 universities nationally by two of the three UK tables and in the top 100 internationally by three of the four major global rankings.
