In its Ethics Code, LSE upholds a commitment to intellectual freedom. This means we will protect the freedom of expression of our students and staff and the right to engage in healthy debate in the classroom. 

Students are invited to produce one essay in the Winter Term of their first year. The formative essay does not count towards the course grade but is an opportunity to get essay feedback in preparation for the summative essay. 

One essay title will be made available in Winter Term of the first year. Students produce an individual essay which considers the links between theory and practice. Essays will be submitted in the same term of the first year. 

Recommended readings will be provided for Capstone lectures when relevant.
