Undergraduate Content.Ed Sessions

All sessions will take place on: Friday, 25 September (9.30am - 11am)

(Please check your Student Hub calendar to see WHERE your session is)

It is compulsory that you and everyone in the LSE community takes part in Consent.Ed. Level 1 and Level 2 should be completed by all students. Level 1 is an online course and can be accessed via Moodle (or by following the below link). This should be completed before attending your Level 2 session.

Level 2 sessions (those listed above) will form part of your departmental induction. This will be a 90-minute workshop attended alongside your department peers. In this session you will explore issues around sexual consent, providing an opportunity to discuss how we can look for one another and create a positive, respectful consent culture, where everyone feels safe on campus.

As we recognise the sensitive nature of Consent.Ed, the school will be offering survivor-only workshops, to create a carefully tailored space for discussion. There is also an opt-out form available should you feel unable to participate in Consent.Ed.

To access the link to Level 1, or view information on survivor-only sessions/ opting-out please see the LSE webpage: Complete your Consent.Ed training (lse.ac.uk)

Questions: please email Su.Consent@lse.ac.uk

Student Adviser Drop-In, with Anna Izdebska

3pm - 5pm | SAR.1.03A, Level 1, Sardinia House, LSE

Starting university can be exciting, and sometimes a little overwhelming. Anna Izdebska, your Student Adviser, will be available for a quick, informal drop-in chat about settling into life at LSE.

This is a non-mandatory opportunity to ask any brief questions you may have about student life, such as making friends, getting involved in activities, managing homesickness or culture shock, accessing support services, adjustments, or finding study skills support.

No booking is required. Just drop in for a quick 5-to-10-minute chat. Students will be seen on a first come, first served basis, so there may be a short wait during busier periods.

If you have a more complex query or would like a longer discussion, please book a one-to-one appointment with Anna through the Departmental Senior Student Advice Team booking link.
