Prepare to Study

Key resources to help you prepare for your MSc 

Programme Regulations 

Every MSc programme at LSE has a set of 'Programme Regulations', which outline the courses that you are permitted to take. Some courses will be compulsory for your programme, or you may be permitted to choose from a list of required or suggested options. Unless your regulations specifically state that you are able to take a course from outside the regulations with permission, then you are expected to only choose courses listed in your Programme Regulations. 

The Programme Regulations for 2025/26 will be published in mid-August 2025. We will provide links when they are available. You can view the 2024/25 regulations on the LSE Calendar (please note that regulations are subject to change). 


LSE Calendar

The LSE Calendar is the resource which brings together all regulations relating to students and their study. Please ensure you take some time to read the School and Academic Regulations. 


Pre-Arrival Packs

Your Pre-Arrival Pack is a helpful resource with key information you'll need to prepare for your studies. It includes a letter from your programme director, suggested preliminary reading, useful resources, and your Welcome Week schedule.

Pre-Arrival Packs will be shared in mid-August 2025.

The MSc Handbook provides information about the department, assessments, course selection, and key information from LSE.
