LSE receives a significant number of applications for postgraduate study in each academic year. While the majority of individuals to whom LSE offers a place enrol at LSE, there is a minority that does not. That results in a place that could have been offered to another individual being left vacant.
The purpose of requiring Offer Holders to pay LSE a deposit towards their Tuition Fees is twofold:
- It allows Offer Holders to demonstrate their commitment to attending their chosen programme of study at LSE
- It gives LSE a sufficient level of certainty that Offer Holders will enrol and aids LSE in its resource and student number planning.
