dbpprop:abstract
  • The London School of Economics Students' Union (LSESU) is the representative and campaigning body for students at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). It is affiliated with the National Union of Students and the National Postgraduate Committee as well as University of London Union. The LSESU is also a founder member of the Aldwych Group, the national group of Students' Unions which mirror the members of the Russell Group. It is one of the oldest Students' Union in the United Kingdom, and often regarded as the most politically active in Britain - a reputation it has held since the well documented LSE student riots in 1966-67 and 1968-69, which made international headlines, and its links with the political, economic and business world give it great influence to debate and rally on major issues, both campus related and internationally. LSE is the only UK university to have a UGM every week, with meetings and debates proving very popular plus there are over 200 student societies, many representing nationalities where students come from. LSE also has more academic societies then most other universities. The oldest and one of the largest societies is the Grimshaw IR Club, founded in 1921 which arranges study trips abroad. The LSE Socialist Society was traditionally the "power house" of all left political activity at the School and has a long and distinguished history dating back to the 1930s and from 1932 was affiliated to the Federation of Student Societies and later The University Labour Federation. Competing financial societies are by far the most popular at the LSE, with several enjoying memberships of over 2000 students. They are viewed as often good preparation for a professional banking job, with several arranging trading competitions. These societies also help maintain the strong investment bank presence on campus. All students studying at the LSE on courses of one year or more in duration are automatically enrolled as members of the LSESU. The right of students to disaffiliate, however, is enshrined in the 1994 Education Act.
