Lent Term 2012 Lectures

LSE100 lectures in Lent Term are each offered twice (for timetabling reasons). There are a number of spare seats for each LSE100 lecture due to the capacity of the venue, the Peacock theatre. Any member of the School may request tickets for LSE100 lectures by contacting the LSE100 course office.
