Choice of courses

You will have the opportunity to amend your initial course choice at the start of the Lent term. This has to be done via LSE For You from 10 to 25 January 2010.

It is important that you get it right at this stage - the courses you choose at this point will determine the exams that you are entered for in the summer term. You will not be able to make changes after 25 January 2010.


Summer projects

Students who would like to take the research branch of the MSc must submit a brief proposal to me by Monday of week 8 Michaelmas Term (23 November 2009). If your proposal is approved, you will be allocated a supervisor before the Christmas break. Supervisors will be available to talk to throughout the Lent term. It is essential that you make substantial progress during this period.
