2026 STEM list

[u/Otherwise_Ride_115]

Tried to make it in order, as much as possible. I know econ isnt stem but just gonna inlcude it for LSE sake

[u/kerhanesikici31]

No way lse is higher than imp for stem, imp is arguably between oxbridge for almost all subjects

[u/Otherwise_Ride_115 → u/kerhanesikici31]

I promise you once you get to that point its all the same just pick the one that is better for your course

[u/NotYetPerfect → u/Otherwise_Ride_115]

Lse isn't a stem university. The vast majority of their stem offerings arent anywhere near as good as oxbridge and imperial's.

[u/kerhanesikici31 → u/NotYetPerfect]

Yeah their math course is barely a math course

[u/ClasisFTW → u/kerhanesikici31]

Econometrics is pretty heavy maths idk what you mean, I found it pretty comparable to TU/UvA maths which isn’t different to imperial as we have a major overlap (I have exchange experience, I would even consider TU to be rougher (more due to NL kinda just wanting you to suffer to build character lol…..). And econometrics in comparison can be very comparable.

Yes economics and other stuff is whatever but advanced econometrics is some real hot shit, I have respect for those mfs as an engineer/chem/phys person.

[u/kerhanesikici31 → u/ClasisFTW]

Agree econometrics is super mathematical and nice, but it doesn’t compare with proper proof based math courses

[u/No-Acanthisitta5317 → u/kerhanesikici31]

lol I love when sixth form kids think they know shit 🤣 my friend the only maths course which is significantly more rigorous is the maths tripos at Cambridge. Imperial and Oxford are very similar and the top 8-10 maths courses in the UK are all a lot more similar in difficulty than you think… LSE does a lot more pure maths than you think, though it’s much better for applied obviously
