Courses offered and related information

From 12 August 2024:

You can find the list of BSc courses for 2024/25 here. 

The above link will list all courses hosted by the Department, but you will need to click on the individual course guide where it will list whether it is running this academic year, information on the teaching and assessments and the course convenor. Information will also be shared by the department via emai to your LSE email address. 

You are required to take a certain number of courses each year as prescribed by your programme regulations. For undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, this is the equivalent of four full units per year. Please refer to the course selection student guides for more information. 

• As part of the course selction process, you must first find the courses you would like to take. For more information please click here. 
• The course selection process takes place on LfY - this is where you will select your courses during the coursel selection period. For more information regarding this step, please click here.
  
  
• Extensive cours eguides have been formulated to help guide you through the course selection process. Please read these thoroughly.
• For the 2024/25 Undergraduate course selection guide, please click here.
• For the 2024/25 Postgraduate course selection guide, please click here.
• Please scroll to the bottom of this page for a list of all links that are relevant for the course selection process.

• A timetable clash occurs when two or more of the courses you have selected have teaching (e.g. lectures, seminars, classes, or workshops/help sessions) scheduled at the same time. Whilst LSE makes every effort to avoid clashes, due to the number of optional courses available on some programmes, it is not always possible.
• If you have enrolled for this academic year and made all of your course selections in LSE for You, but either cannot view your personal timetable or can see only a partial timetable, it’s likely to have a timetable clash.
• There is a ‘Student Timetable Clashes’ screen in LfY which may help to identify your clash. This screen provides details of simple clashes, these are the straightforward lecture to lecture clashes. Some clashes are more complex and do not appear on the list in LSE for You. Complex clashes may involve more than two courses and often arise when a clash free seminar/class group can’t be found even though there are multiple groups.
• You are also advised to consult the School-level timetables (found on the Timetables webpage) and check all of your course timings so you understand the full nature of the clash(es).
• As attendance at classes/seminars is compulsory, a clash between two classes/ seminars will not be approved. There can only ever be one class/seminar involved in an approved clash. In cases where a class/seminar is involved in an approved clash, you will be expected to attend the class/seminar and catch up on the lecture (or other teaching) in your own time. You must not attend the lecture (or other teaching) instead of the class/seminar.
• Course changes: You must complete your course selection in advance of the system closing. However, in exceptional circumstances, it may be possible for you to make changes after the deadline. If you are concerned that you may need to make changes after the deadline, you should contact your home department in the first instance. To make a late course change you are required to:
  1) Complete the late course change form, which can be found under the ‘Late Course Change’ section of the Selecting Courses webpage.
  2) Collect the relevant approval signatures on the back of the form.
  3) Return the completed form to the Student Services Centre by attaching it to an online enquiry form.
