LSE is the world’s leading specialist social science institution, founded in 1895 for the betterment of society. Our Access and Participation Plan (APP) sets out interventions and targets for the next four years. It is aligned with LSE2030, which sets out the School’s commitment to widening access to LSE, to ensuring an inclusive educational experience and to achieving equitable outcomes for all students.
We understand that our position as a highly selective Russell Group institution with an international profile places extra responsibility on us to deliver continued improvements in access to, and success within, the School for those groups currently underrepresented at LSE and in the wider HE sector. Our 2030 strategy and our APP recognise that challenge and set out the steps, across all stages of the student lifecycle, to deliver equal opportunities for all.
Our Access and Participation Plans set out the University's fee limits and the access, student support and progression measures we intend to put in place.
All of our Access and Participation Plans are available to view. The access and participation plan that applies to you is based on the academic year in which you started your current undergraduate studies with us.
