EI Welcome Week

 Our Welcome Programme will be updated in August 2025. 

Your Academic Mentor is a key point of contact in your academic department. Their role is to keep an overview of your academic progress and overall wellbeing during your time at the School. You can find out more about Academic Mentoring here. 

You will get an email from us in the week before Welcome letting you know who your academic mentor is. If you have not received the email by Welcome week, please email us at ei@lse.ac.uk. 

During Welcome, you will have your first meeting with your mentor and their other mentees.

Thinking about course selection? Got questions? Want to meet some of the course conveners? Our Open Office Hour will give you the opportunity to speak to the course conveners for EU-coded courses and learn more about the courses you can take in the European Institute.
