Third among the most notable British law programs, according to the "Times Online" (Guardian ranked the school No. 6) is the law department at the London School of Economics (LSE). Although LSE does not have the long and storied history of Oxford and Cambridge that stretches back into the Middle Ages, LSE has emerged in modern times as a world-class institution recognized primarily for its business and law programs. The study of law is integral to the entire university curriculum at LSE. LSE law students have the opportunity to also pursue multiple degree programs at all levels (bachelor's, master's and doctoral). The highest degree offered by the school is the Ph.D., which is reflective of the research-oriented nature of the LSE law program. Central concerns of the law program's curriculum include labor law, civil litigation, banking and taxation law, welfare law and family law.
