Congratulations on your offer of admission to LSE!

I am pleased to enclose your official offer letter and look forward to welcoming you to LSE for the 2010/11 session.

Full details of your offer are included in your official offer letter of admission and the following pages explain what you need to do next and who to contact should you have further queries. Please read all the information and use the additional online resources where indicated.

LSE is one of the world’s leading centres for the study of the social sciences. It attracts students from over 150 countries, and offers you a unique blend of leading academic teaching and research.

Our identity and character are closely linked with our location in central London, an exciting and lively place to live, work and study. This benefits the School in many ways, not least because we enjoy relationships with national and international government institutions and ministries, whose headquarters are based here. We also provide a unique forum for debate: every week sees many high-profile speakers come to the School.

While you are here you will be part of a vibrant and stimulating community with societies representing hundreds of different interests and national groups available for you to join making your student experience as diverse and exciting as you want it to be.

LSE graduates have always enjoyed considerable success in their chosen fields after leaving us and succeed in making a difference to the world around them. Many of our graduates go on to work for international organisations such as the UN and World Bank, national governments, development institutes, major financial institutions and media companies – and some remain active in academic life. We hope you will be joining us in September.

Yours sincerely
Howard Davies
Director of LSE
