If you do not have traditional
'A' levels or their equivalent, the Access
route has been designed to provide you with an entry route
to the degrees in the fields of Economics, Management, Finance
and the Social Sciences. The Diploma in Economics, a qualification
in its own right, similarly provides an entry route to these
degrees (please note that for the Diploma in Economics attendance
at an institution that has been given 'permission to teach'
by the LSE is compulsory).
