Tailored support for students

Everyone's journey to university is different, but we believe everyone should have the same chance at success once they are here.

We want every student joining LSE to have the information and support they need to reach their full potential. The Widening Participation Team offers tailored support to specific groups within our student community, working in collaboration with other teams across LSE.

You can also find general information for all prospective students, and students from the UK.
