All Sociology courses are ‘Controlled Access’. 

Other than for students in the first category below, when applying for a course all students are required to provide a written statement explaining why they wish to take that course.

Statements are considered by the Course Convenor and, where merited by the statement, places are usually awarded in the following priority order:  

1) Students for whom the course is a ‘core course’ on their Programme Regulations (these students should already be allocated to the course in LSE for you – i.e. no written statement is required). 

2)  Students for whom the course appears as an ‘optional core course’ on their Programme Regulations (where students have to choose between a small number of core options). 

3) Students for whom the course appears as an optional course on their Programme Regulations, space permitting  

4) All other students – with priority given to MSc students within the Sociology Department.

Please note: The number of students that can be accommodated on most courses is limited. If a course is over-subscribed, places will be allocated at the Department’s discretion. Therefore, you are advised to have an alternative course in mind as a back-up in case you are unable to secure your first-choice course selection. For further details, please contact the Sociology Department’s MSc Programme Managers.

If you are requesting online teaching for any part of Michaelmas Term, you should include the following information when applying in LFY for an SOXXX course:

‘Online teaching requested. I am residing in (country you are located) until DD/MM/YY (date you expect to be on campus).’*

*This information is to ensure you are allocated to an appropriate seminar group. This will not affect your chances of being accepted on to a course.
