Part-time work

Part-time or temporary work may be necessary to boost your bank balance, but it is also an opportunity to improve your CV and develop the skills and experiences that graduate employers look for.

LSE allows 15 hours of part-time work per week in term-time and depending on your visa, you may work full time during vacations.  You must not miss lectures or classes in order to work and always ensure you prioritise your academic work if committing to a part time job.  

Working on campus

Most part-time positions on campus are advertised between September and November. Vacancies may arise at any time but work on campus is popular and competition for places is high.

Work is normally basic administration, event stewarding and postering but pay is reasonably good and departments will understand your academic demands and be willing to be flexible.

  • LSE CareerHub LSE Careers vacancy board, lists all part-time and casual work suitable for students on campus.
  • LSE Jobs All jobs at LSE.
  • LSE Student Union jobs LSESU may advertise its jobs only on its own website.
  • Widening Participation – LSE Student Vacancies Jobs that give LSE students the opportunity to engage with the London community as Pathways Mentors.
  • Academic departments Contact departments directly for information about Graduate Teaching Assistants and availability of any student research assistant positions.

Working outside of campus

  • LSE CareerHub Lists part-time jobs around London in a wide range of companies. Often they are looking specifically to recruit an LSE student.
  • Employment 4 Students Lists part-time jobs in London.
  • JobOnline - part-time jobs University of London careers service job site.
  • Student Job Specialist student job site.
  • Metro jobs London-based job site.

Before approaching a recruitment agency, please read our advice on how to get the most from the interaction. See  recruitment agencies: the basics .

Temping agencies are a good option for work during holidays or evenings, but you'll need to take a proactive approach and contact them regularly to ask for work after your initial registration.

  • Agency Central
  • Berkeley Scott Specialises in catering, events and silver service.
  • Student Gems Temping agency that makes use of your skills to match you with suitable part-time projects.

Tutoring someone in your subject may be an option. Ensure you agree terms and contracts and speak to LSE Careers if in doubt.

  • Tavistock Tutors
  • Simply Learning Tuition

Bars, restaurants and shops

Bars, restaurants and shops can be flexible about working hours so are popular choices if you need to work during term time.

They often put jobs vacancy notices in their windows, but you can also just ask if they need more staff. If you take this approach, try to speak to whoever is in charge of hiring rather than just leaving your CV; being friendly, confident and proactive counts.

You could also consider making speculative applications to any companies you want to work for.

Pay and regulations

UK law specifies that all workers, including students, must be paid the  national minimum wage  for work.

In reality the distinction between part time and voluntary work can be hard to define and work undertaken as part of your study can be unpaid. Read through the information on the  Gov.uk website  and know your rights. If in doubt, speak to LSE Careers.

You only pay tax if you earn above the annual salary threshold. Visit the  Gov.uk website  for full details.

National Insurance

Everyone working in the UK must have a National Insurance number. Read about  how to apply for a National Insurance number  on the Gov.uk website.

Student visas normally allow you to work the School's recommended 15 hours a week of part-time work during term, but 'vacation' time varies depending on your visa and programme of study.

Contact LSE's  International Student Immigration Service  with queries about your student visa.

Applying for a part-time job

Most applications will be by  CV  together with a cover letter. Make sure that you submit an adjusted version of your CV and covering letter, suitable for part-time work.

Whether meeting an employer face-to-face or contacting them by telephone, make sure you are prepared in terms of what you say and how you dress, as first impressions count!

Ensure you know the job title of the vacancy you’re interested in and the job reference number and/or contact name if appropriate. Also be sure to have any relevant information that the employer may want from you to hand, including your telephone number, email address or details about your experience and availability.

They may wish to contact you at a later date so it might be useful to keep a notebook with details of the different roles you are applying for to avoid confusion.

You may also want to find out more about the job to ascertain that the position is suitable, for example finding out the number of hours or days a week you’d be expected to work. Be careful not to ask questions that have already been answered in the original job advertisement as this may call your attention to detail into question.

Rehearse your questions beforehand to ensure you come across clear, confident and concise as this is the first opportunity for the employer to assess your communication and language skills.

If you have been successful in your application you will be invited for an  interview  so again you must be prepared!

BSc Mathematics with Economics

  • Department of Mathematics
  • UCAS code G1L1
  • Starting 2024
  • Home full-time: Closed
  • Overseas full-time: Closed
  • Location: Houghton Street, London

Mathematics is essential for an understanding of modern economics. A degree combining these two strongly related disciplines gives you the opportunity to study both economics and mathematics in depth and enables you to acquire the technical aptitude and analytical skills to proceed to a successful career in finance, business and many other fields or to proceed to further study.

The BSc Mathematics with Economics programme has mathematics as its major subject and economics as its minor subject, and study of mathematics will make up approximately 75 per cent of the degree.

Although specific techniques may become out of date, the ability to think analytically is something that remains with you for the rest of your life, enabling you to adapt to new developments in your chosen career. This degree is carefully structured so that the mathematical and statistical topics you study are those of greatest relevance to economics and finance.

The Department of Mathematics is committed to excellence in teaching and research in mathematics related to the social sciences, particularly the mathematics necessary for understanding economics. The programme is taught jointly with LSE's world class Department of Economics and enables you to build a strong quantitative knowledge base – increasingly important for a successful career in economics and finance. This degree will be of interest if you have a mathematical/scientific background, regardless of whether you have previously studied economics.

Where regulations permit, you may also be able to take a language, literature or linguistics option as part of your degree. Information can be found on the  Language Centre webpages .

You must note, however, that while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up-to-date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options. Note that the School will neither be liable for information that after publication becomes inaccurate or irrelevant, nor for changing, suspending or withdrawing a course or programme of study due to events outside of its control, which includes but is not limited to a lack of demand for a course or programme of study, industrial action, fire, flood or other environmental or physical damage to premises.

You must also note that places are limited on some courses and/or subject to specific entry requirements. The School cannot therefore guarantee you a place. Please note that changes to programmes and courses can sometimes occur after you have accepted your offer of a place.  These changes are normally made in light of developments in the discipline or path-breaking research, or on the basis of student feedback. Changes can take the form of altered course content, teaching formats or assessment modes. Any such changes are intended to enhance the student learning experience. You should visit the School’s  Calendar , or contact the relevant academic department, for information on the availability and/or content of courses and programmes of study. Certain substantive changes will be listed on the  updated undergraduate course and programme information page.

Teaching and assessment

Format and contact hours:  You will usually attend two lectures and one related class for each course per week (eight lectures and four classes). In addition you will work on exercises in your own time. These are then discussed in the weekly classes of around 15 students. Details vary according to courses and you can view indicative details in the  Calendar  within the Teaching section of each  course guide .

LSE teaching: All courses will have seminars, classes and/or computer workshops in which you will be able to gain a deeper understanding of concepts and methods introduced in lectures. During computer workshops, you will work with data to complete practical exercises using software and programming languages (mainly Python). You will also be able to use class/workshop time to ask questions about the lecture material and other related topics.

LSE is internationally recognised for its teaching and research and therefore employs a rich variety of teaching staff with a range of experience and status. Courses may be taught by individual members of faculty, such as assistant professors, associate professors and professors. Many departments now also employ guest teachers and visiting members of staff, LSE teaching fellows and graduate teaching assistants who can be doctoral research students. You can view indicative details for the teacher responsible for each course in the relevant  course guide .

Academic support

Academic mentor:  You will have an academic mentor who will be available to offer general guidance and advice on your studies, and you will be expected to meet them at least twice a term. 

Other academic support:  There are many opportunities to extend your learning outside the classroom and complement your academic studies at LSE.  LSE LIFE  is the School’s centre for academic, personal and professional development. Some of the services on offer include: guidance and hands-on practice of the key skills you will need to do well at LSE: effective reading, academic writing and critical thinking; workshops related to how to adapt to new or difficult situations, including development of skills for leadership, study/work/life balance and preparing for the world of work; and advice and practice on working in study groups and on cross-cultural communication and teamwork.

The Department of Mathematics also runs their own Personal and Professional Development Seminar series, which offers specific information and support for students in the department's degree programmes.

Disability and Wellbeing Service:  LSE is committed to enabling all students to achieve their full potential and the School’s  Disability and Wellbeing Service  provides a free, confidential service to all LSE students and is a first point of contact for all disabled students.

Your timetable

  • The standard teaching day runs from 09:00-18:00; Monday to Friday. Teaching for undergraduate students will not usually be scheduled after 12:00 on Wednesdays to allow for sports, volunteering and other extra-curricular events. 
  • The lecture and seminar timetable is published in mid-August and the full academic timetable (lectures/seminars and undergraduate classes) is published by mid-September and is accessible via the  LSE Timetables webpages .
  • Undergraduate student personal timetables are published in LSE for You (LFY). For personal timetables to appear, students must be registered at LSE, have successfully signed up for courses in LFY and ensured that their course selection does not contain unauthorised clashes. Every effort is made to minimise changes after publication, once personal timetables have been published any changes are notified via email.

Formative unassessed coursework:  All taught courses are required to include formative coursework which is unassessed. It is designed to help prepare you for summative assessment which counts towards the course mark and to the degree award. LSE uses a range of formative assessment, such as essays, problem sets, case studies, reports, quizzes, mock exams and many others. Feedback on coursework is an essential part of the teaching and learning experience at the School. Class teachers must mark formative coursework and return it with feedback to you normally within three weeks of submission (when the work is submitted on time). 

Summative assessment (assessment that counts towards your final course mark and degree award):  Summative assessment will be conducted by examinations in most courses you have taken at the end of each year (May or early June). Some courses also have elements of assessment in January. Please note that assessment on individual courses can change year to year. An indication of the current formative coursework and summative assessment for each course can be found in the relevant  course guide . You will also receive feedback on any summative coursework you are required to submit as part of the assessment for individual courses (except on the final version of submitted dissertations). You will normally receive this feedback before the examination period.

Dahlia Radif - BSc Mathematics with Economics 2015-18

Dahlia Radif

 I really enjoyed my time at LSE! The courses I studied gave me both breadth and depth in various areas of pure and applied maths, and there is flexibility in course choice, so it is easy to branch out into statistics, programming or economics. The professors and teachers in the department are experts in, and truly love, their field, and this reflects in the way they teach their courses. I learned how to think and work independently, but there is also an abundance of resources available when you need help; professors will really help you find your way, both academically and career-wise. 

What I really appreciate is the balance that LSE taught me. I felt prepared mathematically to go on and do further study in engineering and computational mathematics. However, being surrounded by social sciences meant that I learned so much outside of my degree and theoretical maths as well. I think that’s what makes studying at LSE so unique, and I’m so grateful for my experience here.

I am now doing a two year Masters in Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University.

Preliminary reading

For an introduction to mathematics as it is applied in economics and finance, we recommend:

M Anthony and N Biggs  Mathematics for Economics and Finance  (Cambridge University Press, 1996)

If you wish to gain further insight into what economists study we suggest that you first look at the following popular book:

T Harford  The Undercover Economist  (Oxford University Press, 2006)

Much of university level mathematics is concerned with formal proofs and rigorous mathematical argument, and this is necessary for some of the advanced mathematics required in finance, economics, and other fields of application. For an introduction, we recommend: 

L Alcock  How to Study for a Mathematics Degree  (Oxford University Press, 2013)

R Allenby  Numbers and Proofs  (Butterworth-Heinemann, 1997)

P Eccles  An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning  (Cambridge University Press, 1997)

T Gowers  Mathematics: a very short introduction  (Oxford University Press , 2002)

M Liebeck  A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics  (Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematics, 2005)

Diploma Degrees in Economics

There is evidence of economic writing that dates all the way back to the Mesopotamian era. The development of modern economics is largely due to two groups which were known as the physiocrats and the mercantilists. These groups help develop capitalism in Europe in the 16th century.

In all, there are over 4000 Higher Education Institutions in Europe offering a wide range of courses at Bachelor, Masters and Doctorate level. With more and more of these organizations offering English as the language of education for at least some of their degree programs, universities in Europe are now of higher quality than ever before. Universities in Europe offer a friendly welcome to foreign students and to give a course of knowledge that meets their profession needs in today’s global demand.
