Only send documents via post where it is unavoidable. We will not accept additional application documents unless a Selector, or the Graduate Admissions team has asked for them and in those cases, you should submit them via your Graduate Applicant Portal.
Wherever possible do not send paper documents for confirming your offer, but instead use online verification services such as Digitary, CHESICC (in P.R.China), eScrip-Safe etc, to share your transcripts and proof of qualifications. You can also ask your institution to email your documents to us directly at graduate.documents@lse.ac.uk - this email address is for your Institution to use only. If you do send paper documents, please be aware that these will take longer to process.
Our postal address is:
Graduate Admissions,
The London School of Economics and Political Science,
PO Box 13420,
Houghton Street,
London,
WC2A 2AR,
United Kingdom.
If you are sending your documents via a parcel delivery service who cannot deliver to a PO Box number, please use the alternative address of:
Graduate Admissions,
The London School of Economics and Political Science,
Houghton Street,
London,
WC2A 2AE,
United Kingdom.
Please note we operate a five day turnaround time in processing incoming post, which may mean that your documents are not processed immediately.
Please allow at least five working days from the date we received your items before contacting us, to give us time to process them. At peak times of year, the turnaround time is likely to be longer.
You can check our current processing times online. You are also reminded that documents sent to LSE are non-returnable, and you will not be able to retrieve them. In particular, do not send us your original degree certificate - use the proof of degree form or obtain a certified copy.
Do not send any additional documents unless we request them, or until you have an offer.
Please include your full name and application number in any correspondence.
