Academic interests and purpose of study All applicants – please attach a personal statement that describes your academic interests and your purpose and objectives in undertaking graduate study. If you are applying for a master’s or diploma programme this is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the selectors. Please describe your academic background, strengths/interests, ambitions/research interests. Your statement should be typed, and should cover 2-3 sides of A4 paper. There is no fixed word limit. If your chosen programme has more than one stream (eg, MSc Social Research Methods) you should indicate which stream you are interested in following.
30
If you wish to be considered for ESRC 1+3 or 2+2 funding (see www.esrc.ac.uk) you must include with your
application an outline research proposal. This proposal should be a brief description of the research topic you are considering pursuing during your PhD and should explain why you are interested in this area of research. As your research interests will develop further over the year of your master’s training your proposal need only be indicative. If you are applying for MPhil/PhD or MRes please state the proposed research topic as accurately as possible. Please attach your research proposal. Give a brief synopsis of your research proposal and details of publications and any other research experience and/or relevant preliminary reading you have undertaken. You should address the questions: i) What is your general topic? ii) What questions do you want to answer? iii) What is the key literature and its limitations? iv) What are the main hypotheses of the work? v) What methodology do you intend to use? vi) What are your case studies, if any, and what are your case selection criteria? Please also state whether you have discussed your proposed research topic with a member of academic staff at LSE and, if so, please give the name of that person.
31
If you are applying for MPhil/PhD or MRes Political Science programme you need to provide a writing sample.
Ideally the writing sample should fulfil the following criteria, however we recognnise that not all applicants will have access to a document that fulfils all of them. You should therefore send an essay that is as close as possible to the following: The essay should be in English and must be your own work – if the assignment was not originally written in enlgish, you should translate it yourself; The marks/comments of the assessor should be legible; It should be from your most recent period of study; It should relate to your proposed research topic. If you submit scanned copies you must ensure that the information in the document is clear and legible. Failure to do so may cause delays to the processing of your application. If you are submitting a translation of the original document please also submit the original document in the original language. Translations should be carried out by the applicant and not a third party. MRes Economics applicants are NOT required to submit an assignment with their application. For further guidance see lse.ac.uk/admissionsenquiries Keyword: Assignment If you are an existing MPhil/PhD student applying to transfer your registration from another institution please attach a letter from your institution giving your registration history.

Guidelines for applicants
How to avoid delays Please read this section carefully. We realise that this is an anxious time for applicants, we aim to process your application quickly and efficiently and return a decision as soon as possible. The application process should run smoothly; however delays sometimes occur – most of which can be easily avoided by following the procedures below.
• Check that you have filled in all the relevant sections on both sides of the form. If any necessary information is omitted this will slow down the application process (eg, programme code/title). • Make sure that your email address is written clearly as we will use this to contact you. Past experience shows that free email accounts can be unreliable – please ensure you provide a valid email account and check your account regularly. • Our acknowledgement email, and other database driven email, may automatically be directed into your Junk Mail folder. To avoid this happening you will need to add our domain name (lse.ac.uk) to your safe list or add our address to your contact list in order to receive future emails from us. Your Junk Mail folder will also empty itself every seven days. • Send the supporting documentation with your application form or as soon afterwards as you can. Your application will not be considered without all documentation under any circumstances. If you can send all your documents to us in one package, unnecessary delay will be avoided. Make sure that documents bear your name and your date of birth as it appears on your application. • The Graduate Admissions Office deals with all application correspondence. Do not send any documents to the academic department – they must be processed centrally before they can be matched to your application. Academic departments cannot answer individual telephone/email queries from applicants. • Ensure that you send your application fee with your application form. Your application will not be processed until the application fee is received. Check the prospectus for methods of payment. If you are paying
by credit card, make sure you have sufficient funds for the fee to be paid and that all required details are included on the form. • Supply two academic references and a transcript of your marks – these are mandatory requirements. Even if you are currently working we will not accept professional references instead of these items. The only exception is if you have been out of education since January 2010, in which case we will accept one professional reference in addition to one academic reference. Please note that it is your responsibility to obtain these references and forward them to the Graduate Admissions Office. If your university does not issue transcripts, we require detailed information about your marks from one or both of your referees. Without these items your file will not be considered. • Supply all documentation in English. If your transcript and/ or references are not in English, we must receive official independent translations bearing the stamp/signature of the translator as well as the original documents. We do not accept unofficial translations. • Check specific programme requirements. Certain programmes have additional entry requirements which must also be fulfilled before your application can be considered eg, a research proposal, GRE/GMAT etc. Please check the relevant programme section in the prospectus before completing the application form. Your application will not be considered until all the required documents have been received. Ensure your research proposal (if required) is sufficiently detailed and clearly labelled. • Many scholarships have early deadlines – to ensure you receive a decision from LSE in time to apply for a scholarship APPLY EARLY. Late applications are more likely to be subject to processing delays.
• Retain a photocopy of your entire application form.
The progress of your application • Once your application form is processed, we will email an individual ID number to the address you have given us. PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL CAREFULLY AND MAKE A NOTE OF THIS NUMBER AND QUOTE IT IN ALL CORRESPONDENCE. You can use this number to check the up-to-date status of your application at lse.ac.uk/graduateTrackYourApplication and via the automated telephone system on +44 (0)20 7955 7160.
• All documents, email attachments and faxes, are date stamped on arrival in the Graduate Admissions Office and dealt with sequentially. We aim to process all documents and enquiries within a week of their arrival in our office, however, at busy times this is not always possible. If there are operational delays this information will be posted on our website – lse.ac.uk/graduateNews
• The first decisions will be made in January 2014. After this date we aim to release decisions for all taught master’s programmes within eight weeks of your completed file reaching the selector. We will communicate decisions to you as soon as we have them – no information about your decision will be available until it is posted on the web. At busy times decisions take longer to process – the best way to receive a quick decision is to apply early. Information regarding the decision will be available earliest on the website. Decisions are not authoritative until confirmed by an official letter.
• Once a programme is full the selectors will no longer consider applications – this applies to new applications and those where missing documentation has only just been received. Applying early and providing all the necessary information and documentation is therefore strongly advisable. Visit lse.ac.uk/graduateProgrammes for up-to-date information regarding programme availability.
• To provide further information, or to make changes to your application, please see the online forms provided at lse.ac.uk/graduateHowDoI
• If you have any queries, please check the regularly updated information at lse.ac.uk/graduateAdmissions. If you cannot find the answer to your question here, you may contact us by using the email template at lse.ac.uk/admissionsenquiries
The Graduate Admissions Office provides the best standards of customer service possible. We receive correspondence relating to over 35,000 programme applications every year, for just 4,200 places. We have provided online resources to enable you to keep track of your application – please use these wherever possible as in the majority of cases this will provide the quickest and most accurate answer to any questions you may have. If you cannot find the answer you require, you may contact us directly and we will endeavour to help you as soon as we can.

Declaration of criminal conviction To help LSE reduce the risk of harm or injury to our students caused by the criminal behaviour of other students, we must know about any relevant criminal convictions that an applicant has. Relevant criminal convictions are only those convictions for offences against the person, whether of a violent or a sexual nature, and convictions for offences involving unlawfully supplying controlled drugs or substances where the conviction concerns commercial drug dealing or trafficking. Convictions that are spent (as defined by the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974) are not considered to be relevant and you should not reveal them. For further information about this subject see the Graduate Admissions website – lse.ac.ukStudygraduate/applicant/ criminalConvictions.aspx. Please note that consideration of criminal convictions is separate to the assessment of your academic suitability. Have you had a criminal conviction? Yes No
