Admissions criteria

Welcome to the admissions criteria pages of the LSE website.

We are continually aiming to improve the information we give applicants to LSE and their teachers. You will find specific advice about our undergraduate courses, outlining each department's admissions criteria and their approach to deferred entry and mature students. There are separate pages for what to include in a personal statement, as well as advice for teachers and tutors. You will also find links to other related websites.

We hope you find the information helpful. Good luck with your application.
