How do I structure my modules over two years?
Students usually take two units per year, taking the compulsory options in the first year. You are strongly advised to speak to your Programme Director before making your final decision as some courses may lead on from others.
Do I have to be enrolled for the dissertation module on LSE for You in the first year?
You should only enrol for courses in the academic year in which you want to take them. Part-time research branch students would usually take the dissertation in the second year. Be aware that LSE for You will try to automatically enrol you for all compulsory courses, so you may need to deselect things like your dissertation.
Are there other part-time students in my course/department? How do I get in contact with them?
Please contact the Department's MSc Administrator about this.
If lecturers reschedule their classes and I am unable to attend, what should I do?
The first point of contact should be the lecturer. Please make full use of the Advice and Feedback hours offered by lecturers. Video recordings of the lecture may be available for some courses..
Is there somebody responsible for part-time student issues in the department, e.g. academic staff?
In the first instance please contact the Programme Director concerning academic matters and the MSc Administrator concerning administrative matters.
When should I pay the second instalment of tuition fees?
Please consult with the Fees Office regarding your fees.
When do I get my second student ID? Why is it not eligible for two years?
Wherever possible, your card should normally be valid for two years. However, because of the way our systems work, this is not always possible. If you find that your card does expire before you are due to complete your programme, Student Services will automatically e-mail you before your current card expires to let you know that a new card has been produced and is ready for collection. Upon receipt of that e-mail you just need to come to the Student Services Centre and swap your old card for your new one.
