1. How will the application form closure affect me?
- Your current in-progress application will be permanently deleted unless you take prompt action before Sunday 28th September. In the meantime, We strongly encourage you to do so earlier — ideally before 22 September — to ensure your application is downloaded and processed in time through the usual steps.
- During the closure period, you will not be able to access the application form.
2. What can I do to avoid being affected by the refresh and closure?
- Finish and submit your completed application before the portal temporarily closes for maintenance. Both references must also have been received by that time, in order for your application to be downloaded in time. Admissions are on a rolling basis, so early submission will maximise your chance of acceptance. If received after that time, we are unable guarantee that your application and references will not be erased from the system.
- Allocate sufficient time to complete your application, as it involves several steps which can take longer than expected. A full overview of the steps required is available on the following webpage: https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Graduate/Applicants/The-admissions-process
3. What if I am unable to finish and submit my application before the refresh and closure?
- Save copies of your progress offline so that you can easily re-start and re-upload the information once the portal re-opens.
- You can work on several steps offline during the closure period. This could include obtaining copies of your past certificates/transcripts, ensuring your CV is updated, working on your statement of academic purpose, and identifying two suitable individuals who are willing to act as referees for your application.
-
Consider whether you already meet the LSE English Language requirement, and if not, how you plan to meet this. This does not need to be met at the point of your application submission but needs to be met (with evidence) as soon as possible before the start of your programme.
4. Who should I contact if I have questions?
There are several contacts available to you:

Kishore Iyer
Director, Intestinal & Multi-visceral Transplant, Professor of Surgery & Pediatrics, Mount Sinai Medical Center
The LSE/NICE Executive Program has turned out to be a very stimulating mix of very well-organized classes and seminars taking us rapidly and seamlessly from the basics to real-world challenges. The pace is fast but with abundant time for discussion. The mix of LSE faculty and NICE’s technical experts is particularly valuable as it allows for translating theory into practice. The best aspect of the class though is the benefit of the unique perspectives from my truly global classmates who each brings his or her own unique experiences to bear on the discussions.
Pierre Roca
External Relations Officer, World Health Organization
The excellent courses and the intensive work with the dissertation opened new perspectives and gave me new skills that helped me transition to a new phase of my career. After working in the pharmaceutical industry, I moved on to work in the United Nations system and also held a position in the European Commission. Furthermore, I expanded my network of relevant health economics and policy experts and I made many new friends with whom I am still in contact.
Maddalena Lettino
Cardiology Director, San Gerardo Hospital
I gained the important knowledge and skills needed to become a director in my hospital. I learnt how to measure my work’s impact, to improve quality of care, to understand the financial aspects of the healthcare system and to manage an effective team.
