The Student Adviser is available to support you throughout your time at LSE, helping you to navigate the advice and support services available to you (alongside your Academic Mentor and other departmental staff), and to assist with your personal, welfare or wellbeing needs. They will also be the best person to ask for support if at any point your engagement or assessments have been impacted - they can discuss the options available to you and ensure you receive appropriate support.
You can book a 30min appointment with your Student Adviser (in-person or online) or attend an online drop-in session for quick queries - please refer to the Departmental Senior Student Advice Team webpage for your department booking form and drop-in information.
