Thanks to generous donations from alumni and friends, in particular Breht Feigh (MSc Economic History, 1993), the Department is able to offer short-term research contracts as part of the Student Internship Programme. Working closely with faculty, students participate in a range of research activities which allow them to hone their skills whilst contributing to ongoing research projects in the Department.
Details of faculty projects that have been accessed by students under this scheme can be found here.
After a successful launch in 2022-23, we are delighted to announce that we will be running this popular scheme for the academic year 2023-24. Our alumni share a deep wealth of experience and knowledge across a wide range of industries and sectors and we are grateful to those of you who are willing to provide careers guidance and mentorship at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level.
If you would like to get involved, please sign-up here, or contact Oli Harrison for more information.
A significant focus of the Advisory Board will be to assist in the foundation and ongoing stewardship of the Economic History Research Fund, which will provide grants for research for PhD students in the Department.
Please contact Professor Max Schulze (m.s.schulze@lse.ac.uk) or Dr. Peter Cirenza (p.t.cirenza@lse.ac.uk) if you would like to find out more about the Advisory Board and its activities.
