Open Day

Welcome Week takes place before the start of teaching and gives you a chance to meet the Department, meet one another and get a taste of LSE life before the serious philosophising starts!

During the week you’ll be expected (and usually required) to attend a series of orientation events organised by the School, as well as some we’ve put together ourselves (including our [in]famous Welcome Soirée!)

Below you’ll find the full timetable for new philosophy students, just follow the links for further info. All events marked with an asterisk (*) are organised centrally by the School, visit the main Welcome Week pages for further details about these.

Let us know if you have any questions and we’ll look forward to meeting you all in September.
