Earn Credit Towards Your Degree

Complete the six-week EMFSS Summer Session to earn 30 credits towards your degree.

This is equivalent to one full EMFSS course, allowing you to fulfil part of your degree requirements at LSE and potentially lighten your course load during your regular term time.

Please note: 

• Each point on your EMFSS degree structure is worth 30 credits.
• Each Summer School course is worth 15 EMFSS credits.
• To fulfil one of the points of your degree through Summer School, you must take two courses.
• If you complete one Summer School course (15 credits), you must pair this with an eligible 15-credit EMFSS half course to count it towards your degree.
• Credit transfer is subject to eligibility rules (please see below).

If you choose to transfer credit, your Summer School marks will appear on your UoL record and count towards your degree classification.

Please note: you can attend Summer School without opting to transfer credit towards your EMFSS degree, and you may attend for one, two or three sessions.

How to check if you are eligible for credit transfer

To be eligible for credit transfer, you must take Summer School courses that fit with the structure and requirements of your EMFSS degree. You would also need to achieve a Pass grade (‘C’ or higher) in your course(s).

You will need to have your Summer School course choice(s) approved by the EMFSS Programmes Team by following the steps below.

Please note: if you have already applied to Summer School and completed the EMFSS Summer School credit form, you can disregard the below steps.

3. Complete the EMFSS - Summer School notification form to notify LSE of your course selection. (A link to this form is also provided within the Summer School application form. There is no need to submit the form twice unless you change your course choice.)
4. On receiving the form, LSE’s EMFSS Programme Management Team will review your course selection, confirm if you are eligible to receive credit, and share the tuition fee discount code.
