Transition Support for Offer Holders

Transitioning from school to university is exciting, but it can also bring unique challenges and anxieties. The LSE Widening Participation team offers a wealth of support to targeted Offer Holders to support students through the process of transitioning to university.

Our transition support aims to ensure students navigate the process successfully, feel part of the LSE community and thrive socially, academically and practically at LSE once they’re here.

More information can be found on this page. If you have further questions, you can email us at ard.transition@lse.ac.uk and we’ll do our best to support you.

Tailored email campaigns will begin when offers are made to applicants. Events will begin in April 2024 and conclude in September 2024. You will be given methods to access this support in the communications sent.
