The London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE) Demography Scholarship 2027

Demography is the study of human populations over time. It shows us how births, deaths and migration influence change and shape key trends such as population growth or decline and ageing populations.

The programme combines the study of social demography (the social and cultural aspects of population change) with formal demography (the statistical measurement of population dynamics). So, you’ll be equipped with well-rounded skills for your future career.

You’ll explore core theoretical debates and develop advanced skills in demographic methods and quantitative and/or qualitative analysis. You’ll also draw on LSE’s expertise in broader areas such as sociology and economics.

We have a vibrant, active research community. You can choose to specialise in a wide range of topics and contribute original research that addresses pressing global demographic issues. You’ll begin your studies on the MPhil and move on to the PhD (subject to certain requirements).

This programme opens the doors to a wide variety of interesting careers in government, industry and international organisations.
