When will admissions open?
Admissions opened for summer 2021 on 1st February.
Will it be the same programme that you’ve offered pre-Covid?
For summer 2021, all our courses will be offered in the choice of two delivery modes.
Our Blended Learning option combines primarily in-person teaching with some online classes for a safe and academically rigorous experience in London.
We are also very pleased to present a Remote Learning option, running alongside our blended learning programme, for those students unable to attend in person.
This approach is subject to modification as we monitor developments with the wider situation.
If I enrol on a course in 2021, and subsequently need to withdraw, will I be able to receive a full refund?
We understand that the global pandemic may affect your plans for Summer 2021 and want to offer you peace of mind.
You will be able to withdraw from the programme and receive a full refund of your tuition fees if you notify us at least thirty (30) days before the start date of your course.
We regret that application fees are non-refundable.
I held an offer for Summer School 2020 and decided to defer my place and payment to 2021. If I am not able to attend the course for any reason, can I still get a refund?
Yes. If you deferred your 2020 place to 2021, you will be able to withdraw from the programme and receive a full refund on your tuition fees if you notify us at least thirty (30) calendar days before the start date of your course.
Please note, application fees are non-refundable.
What measures will you take to make campus safe?
Students' safety is our main priority. We’ll be guided by LSE’s wider approach to safeguarding students. The School has undertaken extensive risk assessments, and health and safety assessments on all rooms and communal areas of the LSE campus. In several areas we are going beyond UK government guidance to ensure our campus is safe.
Current measures include face coverings, social distancing, extensive cleaning and LSE’s own track and trace system.

(This link is for general information, as it is aimed at full-time LSE students, therefore there may be some aspects that will not be relevant to Summer School students)

Can I switch from remote learning to in-person and vice versa?
This will be subject to availability. Please contact us if you wish to request this.
Will lectures be recorded online?
Yes. All lectures will be recorded and available on demand for the duration of the programme. This will allow an opportunity for revision and to help mitigate against connectivity issues for our new remote learning programme.
