Denmark

LSE is an international community, with over 140 nationalities represented amongst its student body. We celebrate this diversity through everything we do.

Student societies and activities

student-life

Your time at LSE is not just about studying. There are plenty of ways to get involved in extracurricular activities. From joining one of over 200 societies, or starting your own society, to volunteering for a local charity, or attending a public lecture by a world-leading figure, there is a lot to choose from.

The campus

LSE is based on one campus in the centre of London. Despite the busy feel of the surrounding area, many of the streets around campus are pedestrianised, meaning the campus feels like a real community.

Life in London

London is an exciting, vibrant and colourful city. It's also an academic city, with more than 400,000 university students. Whatever your interests or appetite you will find something to suit your palate and pocket in this truly international capital. Make the most of career opportunities and social activities, theatre, museums, music and more.

London is a great city for students, with plenty of sights, experiences, and opportunities to explore. Contrary to popular belief, London doesn't have to be super expensive: hear about London on a budget.

For more information about living in London, please request our London Life: Tips for students living in the city e-book.

Nordic Society

Once upon a time the People of England prayed to be saved from The Scandinavians of the Dark North. Nowadays, the same people praise us and beg us to turn up. We are known to hold the best parties at LSE. Here we are once more, and we are here to stay – seriously this time. That’s why we are inviting you to join the Nordic Society at LSE, an excellent opportunity to take part in the conquering of the world with fellow blonde Nordics at your side!

Support during your studies

There is a wide range of support services and facilities available. You can benefit from academic guidance, language support and personal and professional development. We also provide careers support, pastoral care, counselling and a Disability and Wellbeing service. We encourage you to make the most of these resources to ensure you have the best possible experience during your time at the School.

Accommodation

LSE offers a variety of styles of accommodation with a mix of students; UK and international, men and women. Options include LSE halls of residence, University of London intercollegiate residences and private halls.

Every student is charged a fee for their programme. For undergraduate students, there is a fee for each year of their programme.

Fees cover registration, teaching, classes and individual supervision, first entry to examinations, the use of the Library and membership of the Students' Union.

Fees do not cover living costs or travel or fieldwork. If you receive an offer, you will be informed of the relevant tuition fee amount in your offer letter.

Fees are fixed each spring for the following session only, and will be published in the Table of Fees.

Tuition fee amounts

fees-and-funding

For undergraduate students, the individual tuition fee amount is available on the individual undergraduate degree programme webpages.

For graduate students, tuition fee amounts are listed on the individual graduate degree programme webpages.

Fee status

In some cases the amount of tuition fees you will need to pay, and any financial support you are eligible for, will depend on whether you are classified as a home or overseas student, otherwise known as your fee status.

LSE assesses your fee status based on guidelines provided by the Department of Education.

Scholarships, bursaries, loans and other funding opportunities

The School recognises that the cost of living in London may be higher than in your home town or country. LSE provides generous financial support to UK and overseas undergraduate and graduate students. Some support is also available from external organisations including the UK government and some overseas governments.
