Visiting Research Students

We welcome research students from other universities to spend from one term up to one academic year at LSE as a Visiting Research Student (VRS) in Anthropology.

The VRS scheme allows students who are registered as doctoral researcher at other institutions to participate in research activities in the Department and the School, to interact with other research students, and to benefit from the expertise of LSE faculty, the training offered by the PhD Academy, and LSE Library facilities. Note that Visiting Research Students do not have access to any LSE taught courses. Further details can be found here.
