Recruitment and Admissions Division

The Admissions team manages and supports the application process for students applying to study at LSE. 

The Admissions team also works closely with ARD Systems to manage the application system on SITS.

The team is split into two focused areas - one for Undergraduate Admissions and another for Graduate Admissions. There is a large amount of information on both of our internal websites and we encourage you to explore our resources there.

Our overarching strategic objective is to support LSE’s student recruitment and enrolment activity for all departments to meet their student number targets through comprehensive marketing campaigns and activities.

Our main channels cover CRM campaigns, paid for advertising, social media and digital content (including student generated content), managing the prospective student webpages and delivering our printed brochures and guides.

The team also encompasses Market Research and Intelligence (MRI). The MRI team can support departments and teams with market research reports and evaluation. They also manage primary research projects such as the Welcome Survey, and the offer holder and decliner surveys.

LSE's Widening Participation Team offers free activities to inform, inspire and support the next generation of university students from underrepresented groups across the UK to access world-leading social sciences opportunities.

 LSE has been committed to widening access for students from all backgrounds for over two decades. Our work is closely linked to the Access and Participation Plan - which sets out strategic priorities, interventions and targets to address risks to equality of opportunity for specific student groups at LSE.
