Fees
We have classified you as Overseas for the payment of fees. The fees for your programme are 23520 pounds sterling
for the 2021/22 session. Details of how and when to pay are on page 17 of the Offer Pack, and more information about
how we classify your fee status is on page 22. The LSE Student Fees Policy can be found via:
lse.ac.uk/studentfeespolicy.

LSE Financial Support

It has not yet been possible to consider you for financial support from LSE, as your LSE Graduate Financial Support
Application was not submitted before the decision to offer you a place was taken. In order to be considered for needs-
based financial support from the School, please complete the application form which is linked to the online tracker. The
application form will be available until 17.00 (UK time) 29 April 2021. More information about Financial Support is on
page 12 of the Offer Pack.

Financial Undertaking Form

You are required to submit the online Financial Undertaking Form (FUF), which you can access via your LSE for You
account. Please read and complete the online form carefully. You should submit the form before 30 July 2021, or as
soon as possible after that date if your offer is received later than July 2021. If you are awaiting confirmation from a
sponsoring organisation you should complete the online form as though you or your family will be responsible for your
fees, and then inform us at a later time once your sponsorship/scholarship is confirmed. You will not become liable to
pay any fees until you enrol.

International Students
You cannot use this document to apply for a Student visa. If you need to apply for a visa to study in the UK under the
Student route, please start preparing to do this as early as possible. It can take weeks to gather your documents and
complete the application form, then many more weeks before you receive your visa. Key points to note are:
* LSE has an advice service for international students who require a visa in order to study: the LSE International Student
Visa Advice Team, known as ISVAT.
* Many visa applications are refused for financial reasons. Please pay close attention to the ISVAT’s guidance about
financial documents: lse.ac.uk/isvat-faqs
* You can find detailed guidance written specially for LSE students at: https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/immigration-
advice and for all students on the UK Visas and Immigration website: https://www.gov.uk/student-visa. Please read this
before you make your application.
* You can only apply for a visa once you have received your Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) number. The
earliest you can apply is a maximum of six months (for applications made outside the UK) and three months (for
applications made in the UK) before the official programme start date as stated on your CAS. It is not possible to do this
any sooner.
* If you are already in the UK with a Student visa for a different institution, you will have to apply for a new visa under the
Student route to study at LSE before you can enrol and study at the School. Please contact ISVAT for advice on your
options before submitting an application to avoid a refusal. To obtain a visa, you will require us to issue you with a CAS.
For this, you will need to hold a full-time, unconditional offer from LSE and have submitted both an online Offer Reply
Form confirming that you have accepted our offer and the Financial Undertaking Form. Being issued with an offer letter
does not guarantee we will be able to issue you with a CAS and we may need to contact you for further information.
Generally, we begin issuing CASs by email from May 2021 onwards. Please note that being issued a CAS does not
guarantee that you will be issued with a visa. You will need to comply with the UKVI requirements to make a successful
visa application. If your visa application is refused, we may not be able to support you with a new CAS.

Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)

You are not required by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to apply for ATAS clearance. Please find useful
information about ATAS here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/academic-technology-approval-scheme

Accommodation and living costs

If you wish to live in an LSE residence, please visit lse.ac.uk/accommodation for advice on making your booking via the
LSE Student Accommodation System, information about each residence and prices. The majority of new graduate
applicants who book before the summer deadline will be able to reserve a place in either an LSE hall, or a hall
managed by one of its partners (the University of London, Sanctuary Students or Urbanest). It is possible for graduate
applicants to book after the summer deadline, however, this will be subject to availability. The earlier you book, the more

availability there will be. Accommodation costs in an LSE residence range from about £110 - £400+ per week (2020/21
rates), depending on the size and type of room, studio or apartment-style. Contracts run over 39, 40 or 50 week
durations (please note University of London halls offer 40 week contracts as standard). You should allow about £1300
per month for living expenses, plus £1000 for one-off expenses. More information is in the Offer Pack on page 24.

Transfer Policy
The offer of admission and acceptance of a place applies to the specific degree programme that is named in the offer
letter. The School will not allow a successful applicant to transfer from one programme to another after enrolment,
unless it considers that exceptional circumstances apply.

Data protection
Please note that LSE, like all UK universities, collects information on its students and staff for various essential
administrative, academic and health and safety reasons. If you choose to accept your offer of a place, you are agreeing
to the Conditions of Registration (annex C of the offer book) and to the lawful use of your data for the uses mentioned.

We look forward to welcoming you to LSE at the start of your programme,

Simon Beattie
Head of Admissions
