If you are planning to invest your time and finances in studying here, out of experience I would say - reconsider. I was very disappointed at the attitude of professors towards students (Msc in Development Studies), who always acted too busy for the students, did not want to listen to opposing (or even alternate) views to their research (narrow minded, even a bit dogmatic) and did not take students feedback seriously. Also the school treats one-year masters students as cash-cows. The school hugely lacks resources (books) and facilities (toilet and water) are not managed. Students were really left with our own endeavors to struggle to claim what we expected from a masters experience. Would say there are plenty of other highly esteemed schools in London !
