Is this programme for me?

Programme aims
To provide an
opportunity for critical and theoretical study, particularly
in economics. You will receive an intellectually demanding,
broad preparation for management that draws on a wide range
of social science disciplines.
Programme structure
The degree consists
of 12 units when taken through the Standard Route and 9 units
through the Graduate Entry Route.
Prestige and career progression
The programme
has been developed by academics at the London School of Economics
and Political Science (LSE), regarded as an international centre
of academic excellence and innovation in the social sciences.
This degree will prepare you for a career in areas of management
consultancy, banking, accountancy or general management.
Flexible study at a reasonable
cost
You
have between 3-8 years to complete the programme (or a minimum
of 2 years on the Graduate Entry Route). The total fee payable
to the University is £2,793 if you complete in the minimum
study period. The Graduate Entry Route costs just over £2,100

Study materials
The study materials will include:

in the Humanities and Social Sciences
- Student handbook
- Subject guides (offering advice
on how to use textbooks)
- Past exam papers and Examiners'
reports

You need to provide
your own textbooks - they provide the main focus of your studies
- so before you register for the programme the University will
advise you to consider the facilities available to you locally,
and how accessible books are likely to be.
Study support and online
resources
You can either
study independently at a pace that suits you, or enrol for additional
classes at a local institution (either full time or part time)
and benefit from the more formalized support this provides.

LSE arranges
a Study weekend in February each year.
This consists of short courses designed to help you with
examination preparation and technique. You will also have
the opportunity to discuss your studies with subject specialists.

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).
