The Academic Partnerships Office (formerly Partnership Programmes) is responsible for the development and management of the School's relationship with its institutional partners across the world. It also develops, co-ordinates and supports the activities that arise from those relationships.
Collaborative activities to date include the development of a range of Double Masters Degree and PhD exchange programmes, an Executive Teaching Programme with three other partners held annually in China, an international Summer School in Beijing with Peking University and the foundation of the Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) together with Columbia University and Sciences Po Paris in 2006, which has since been joined by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.
LSE is particularly active in China. Collaborative activities to date include the development of the Executive Public Policy Training Programme (EPPTP) together with Columbia University, Sciences Po and Peking University held in China, an international Summer School in Beijing with Peking University, double degree programmes with Peking University and Fudan University, PhD exchange programmes and conferences and events.
The Academic Partnerships Office supports the development and implementation of the School's international alliance strategy.
The aims of the strategy are, broadly, to create a small number of broad and deep institutional partnerships to help the LSE ensure it can give the best international education to its students and so that it can do the best research, dealing with real-world problems and issues.
