When is the application deadline?
The application deadline will be announced in due course. Please note that some courses will reach their maximum capacity and close prior to this deadline. Please also note that accommodation spaces are limited and may fill up before this date so you are advised to apply as soon as possible if you wish to stay in LSE Halls.
What sort of people apply to the Summer School?
Summer School is a truly international programme, attracting a diverse range of people from more than 100 countries in 2015. The majority of participants are currently studying at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, alongside a number of professionals from a range of business sectors. In the past we have had former cabinet members, judges, employees of the world banks and even a Brazilian footballer enrol on the programme! We also have a former Summer School student who is now a teacher on the Summer School!
I have a disability, how do I let you know about this?
LSE is committed to operating a system of equal opportunity, and will endeavour to make all reasonable adjustments to enable students to undertake the programme. Applicants are able to indicate the nature of their disability when completing the online application form, though we encourage students to contact the Office to discuss their needs prior to submitting their application.
I am under 18 years of age. Can I still apply?
There is no minimum age requirement for the Summer School. However, in order to apply students must at least have an offer of a place at university. If you do not hold an offer you will not be eligible to apply. If you are a UK student, you may however be interested in LSE's Widening Participation programmes.
Do you run these courses in other months?
No, unfortunately these programmes only run in June, July and August.
