LSE's entry requirements We welcome applications from all prospective students and want to recruit students with the very best academic potential irrespective of their background. In order to achieve this we encourage applicants from the widest possible range of schools and colleges to take advantage of the opportunities available at LSE. For details of specific opportunities see Widening participation and Information for teachers and schools. You should read the following information carefully as it will help you determine whether you meet the necessary entry requirements.  Each application received is carefully considered on an individual basis, taking into account the full range of information presented on the UCAS form including personal statement, academic achievement (including both past and predicted grades), subject combinations and references, before a final decision is made. As you will see from the individual programme information, there is a great deal of competition for places at the School. In 2010, we received 19,000 applications for 1,200 places. This means that if you are predicted or if you achieve the grades set out in the standard offer, unfortunately this will not guarantee you an offer of admission. Before completing your application you should also refer to the Completing your application section and read the information on the Admissions Criteria pages and on the UCAS Entry Profiles. Age requirements Admission to the School is based upon academic merit and potential. As the School has a responsibility for safeguarding children under English Law, appropriate senior staff will be notified of an offer of admission made to anyone who will be younger than 18 years of age at the time of registration. GCSEs The School takes into account the school background of its applicants, although this is not the key element in decision making and we take into account the full range of information presented on the UCAS form, including the personal statement and reference. The Admissions Office identifies the percentage of pupils achievinig five or more A* to C grades at GCSE (including Maths and English) at the school which you attended when you sat these. The percentage score is written on the application form for the selector's reference. The lower the average performance of the school, the more consideration may be given if your past examination performance significantly exceeds your school's average performance. Certain departments look for a number of A or A* grades at GCSE. If this is the case, it will be mentioned in the admissions criteria. AS/A levels We expect the vast majority of applicants to offer four AS levels and then proceed to three full A levels, but we recognise that there may be resourcing problems in some schools and colleges which might prevent this exact combination. Applicants in this situation will not be penalised when applying to LSE. However, it is vital that we have knowledge of this situation if it applies to you, so that we can assess your application in the light of these constraints. Therefore, we would strongly advise you to request that your referee indicates, when writing your reference, whether resources are available to teach four or five AS levels in Year 12, and whether timetabling arrangements allow the uptake of a wide range of subjects. We envisage that we will continue to make conditional offers based normally on three full A levels (A2s). Finally, we do emphasise that we will continue to consider carefully the whole of each individual application and the circumstances of each applicant. You will see that we express our standard offer in terms of A levels (by which we mean A2s) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). A2 refers to the full A level taken at the end of the second year of advanced study and is distinct from the AS level (taken after one year of advanced study). AS unit grades already obtained are used as part of our decision making process for some of our mathematics based courses. As competition for places at LSE is extremely fierce, it is important that applicants achieve consistently high grades throughout both years of their A level study. Please note that in cases where AS grades are not provided, it is likely that the Undergraduate Admissions Office will request these before a decision can be made. For the majority of our courses, Selectors will continue to make decisions based on predicted A level grades, as well as previous academic qualifications, the personal statement and academic reference. Students are not required to have the Key Skills certificate for admission to LSE. A* grade at A level Following the introduction of the A* at A level in 2010, LSE will include an A* in its standard offer for a number of our degree programmes for 2011 entry. Please see the individual degree programme descriptions for specific programme requirements.   General Studies/Critical Thinking at A level If you are taking General Studies or Critical Thinking at A level, your grades in this subject will not be counted towards the requirements of any conditional offer we make. However, if we make you a conditional offer and you don't quite achieve the grades we have asked for, we might then take a good grade in such a subject into account when making our final confirmation decision. Extended Project LSE recognises and values the addition of the Extended Project (EP) to the post 16 curriculum, although we acknowledge that not all applicants will have the opportunity to complete one. For this reason, it is not normally included in any conditional offer that we make. However, the skills of independent study and research which can be demonstrated through  the EP are clearly good preparation for undergraduate study. We therefore encourage those of you who are undertaking an EP to make reference to it in your application. Whilst the grade that you achieve for your EP may not be specified in any conditional offer, it may be taken into consideration in the summer if you narrowly miss your A level grades. Retakes Competition for places at the School is intense, so it is important that you achieve consistently high grades throughout both years of your A level (or equivalent) studies. Whilst grades can be improved by re-sitting individual modules, we prefer students who have achieved high grades in their AS and A2 examinations at their first attempt. Cambridge Pre-U LSE is happy to to consider candidates applying with the Cambridge Pre-U Diploma or one or more Principal Subjects in combination with A levels. At LSE offers are based on the achievement of specific grades in identified subjects, thus, where an A level student would be asked to achieve a grade A, we will ask for a Pre-U subject grade of D3. Where an A level grade B is required we will ask for a Pre-U principal subject grade of M1. Further details can be found via UCAS Course Search Advanced Diplomas LSE does not consider the subject areas covered in the Advanced Diplomas currently available to provide adequate preparation for the courses we offer. However, we will consider, on an individual basis, applications from candidates with the Advanced Diploma who are are taking an additional free-standing A level in a generally preferred subject. VCE A level Since the technical and vocational subjects currently offered in the VCE A level are not particularly appropriate to the subjects studied at LSE, we would normally expect such candidates to take, in addition, two A levels in traditional academic subjects. The conditions of individual offers may vary if the Admissions Tutor considers this appropriate. Access to Higher Education Diploma Applicants taking the Access to Higher Education Diploma course are assessed alongside other applicants using the full range of information presented on the UCAS form, including qualifications (predicted/achieved), personal statement and reference. Those demonstrating potential are normally asked to sit the School's Entrance Exam. The admissions decision is based on the Entrance Exam performance and the information on the UCAS form, as above. All applicants should complete their Diploma with 45 credits at Level 3 ; specific entry requirements vary depending on the course applied for: e.g., An applicant applying for a course with AAA A level entry requirements is likely to be asked to achieve 30 level 3 credits at distinction, and the remainder at merit, where as an applicant applying for an ABB course may be asked for 15 level 3 credits at distinction, and the remainder at merit.  Marks in specific units relating to the subject area applied for may be required. Applicants should have achieved or be predicted to achieve the required level of attainment in their Diploma in order to be put forward for the Entrance Exam. Other qualifications We are happy to consider many other qualifications, including any of the following, for example: Scottish Advanced Highers (normally three Advanced Highers or two, plus one A level) Irish Leaving Certificate Welsh Baccalaureate European Baccalaureate French Baccalaureate International Baccalaureate  Other qualifications are also acceptable. See infomation for international students. If you have taken GCSE level qualifications, or the equivalent, these will also be taken into account in our admission decision. Subject combinations and 'non-preferred' subjects We are looking for evidence that you have academic ability and achievement in breadth. For some degrees we require Mathematics, but apart from that we do not expect you to know much in detail about the subjects we teach. The School considers not only the subjects offered by applicants at A level (A2) and AS level, but also the combination of them. The School generally prefers certain subjects because it considers they are more likely to serve as effective preparation for studying at LSE. Admissions Tutors will normally consider one of the subjects listed as 'non-preferred' below only if it is offered in combination with our generally preferred subjects. For example, Mathematics, French and Economics would be a suitable combination for almost any of our degrees. Mathematics, French and Business would be acceptable, but we would prefer the first example. On the other hand, Mathematics, Accounting and Media Studies would not normally be considered as suitable as this combination includes two subjects on the list below. You should also note that we are less concerned with subject combinations at AS level. Applicants normally offer three A levels (A2s) in our generally preferred subjects, or two generally preferred subjects and one from the following list of subjects that are 'non-preferred.' The list is regularly reviewed by Admissions Tutors: Accounting Art and Design Business Studies Communication and Culture Dance  Design and Technology Drama/Theatre Studies Electronics Film Studies Home Economics Information and Communication Technology Law Media Studies Music Technology Sports Studies Travel and Tourism Environmental Studies An A level (or equivalent) in your first/native language may not be counted. Please note the following points: Drama and Theatre Studies: Following the School's annual review of the list of non-preferred subjects, some departments are now willing to consider Drama and Theatre Studies equally with other generally preferred subjects. However, the majority of departments continue to feel that it is not appropriate or relevant in content to their degree programmes and still consider it to be 'non-preferred.' The following academic departments are willing to consider Drama and Theatre Studies alongside one other subject from the 'non-preferred' list: Anthropology International History International Relations Social Policy Sociology Music Technology: Music Technology is regarded as a non-preferred A level subject. However the School does accept A level Music as a generally preferred subject. Business Studies: Whilst not necessarily perceived as the best preparation, due to its vocational content, a number of applicants offering Business Studies alongside two other generally preferred subjects like Maths or English, do receive offers from LSE every year. However, the combination of Business Studies and Economics as two separate A levels is best avoided. Accounting and Law: As with Business Studies, students offering either Accounting or Law as one of their A level subjects should not be put off from applying to LSE, as depending on their overall academic profile, they made be made an offer. Programme requirements Please see individual programme entries for specific requirements. Usual standard offers You will see that we express our standard offer in terms of A levels (by which we mean A2s) and the International Baccalaureate (IB). Predicted or actual grades which meet or exceed the standard offer will not guarantee an offer of admission. Furthermore, these are only a guide and in some cases candidates will be asked for grades which differ from this. In cases where the applicants for a given course are of a particularly high calibre, competition for places can be intense and the offer you receive may be higher than our 'usual standard offer.' It may also serve as a useful reminder that your application form is not solely assessed on your predicted/ achieved academic qualifications, but also on the basis of your personal statement and reference. English language requirements All students are required to be sufficiently proficient in the English Language to benefit from their studies at the School. Although it is not necessary to have the required grade in an acceptable English Language qualification when you make your application to LSE, if you are made an offer of a place and English is not your mother tongue, it is likely that you would be asked to obtain an acceptable English Language qualification as a condition of your offer. Full details of the tests we accept are on the English language requirements page.
