your name
your student ID number
the courses you are taking
the dates on which you are unable to attend exams
details of your religious observance (you may be asked to provide a supporting letter from a religious leader)

If you have a student visa, you can work part time during your studies and full time during the vacation. The vacation time starts after the official term end date, not after your final exam. If you are a one year Masters student and have to submit a dissertation, your vacation time starts after the official end of your programme in September.

More details about working at the end of your studies are available from the LSE Student Advice and Engagement Team.
