The LLM Pre-sessional programme runs for two weeks, beginning on Monday 14 September 2026. The programme is designed to support your transition into postgraduate study at LSE and to help you settle into academic and student life.

The Pre-sessional includes a combination of academic sessions, information sessions on studying at LSE, and a formal welcome from the Dean and Programme Director. Alongside this, there will be a range of social activities providing opportunities to meet fellow LLM students and begin building your academic and social networks.

The academic sessions introduce essential legal concepts, terminology and approaches to legal reasoning, and provide core knowledge that underpins the LLM programme. Together, these elements are intended to prepare you for the academic demands of the LLM while helping you feel confident and connected as you begin your studies.
