Dear Students,
Welcome to all students for the coming academic year. Please read the information below very carefully.
For all students
This year we have introduced some changes to the course codes, in order to more accurately describe the subject area and level of the course.
The course codes can be understood as, for example, EC1002
| Subject designator: | EC | indicates that this is an Economics course |
| Level designator: | 1 | indicates that this is a 100 course |
| Course designator: | 002 | indicates the unique course number. (These remain the same as in previous years, although they are all now in three digit format). |
Students will notice that the subject guides have different covers and are coloured to indicate whether the course is a 100 course (pink), 200 course (green) or 300 course (white).
In most cases there have been minor changes to the learning outcomes, for both courses and chapters within the subject guides. However, these are descriptive changes, and the content and approach remain the same.
IMPORTANT
This year we have introduced New Regulations. These regulations are for some new students only. New students studying in a teaching institution should find out urgently whether they have been registered on the old or the new regulations. New Students not studying in a teaching institution will be automatically registered under the new regulations (all those registered since 1st January 2011). For these students there have been significant changes to the regulations, including the pass mark and the way that students can process through the degree.
Students who have registered in previous years or who have been registered this year by their teaching institution on the old regulations will not be affected by the changes in the new regulations in any way.
Transfer to the new regulations will not be possible for students on the old regulations.
Good luck with your studies this year.
Very best wishes,
LSE Office for the University of London International Programmes
