LSE External Study held a reception on 5 November 2008 for students from the University of London External System who have transferred to Universities in the UK. It is also the occasion at which scholarships and some of the prizes students received this year are presented.
LSE External Study awards two scholarships for the very best students who have completed their studies with the External System and have been offered places at LSE for postgraduate study.
This year Adem Atmaz from Turkey was awarded a full scholarship to study on LSE’s new MSc Financial Mathematics. The second scholarship went to Vladimir Mukharlyamov who studied Economics in Moscow and is now studying for the MSc Finance and Economics at LSE. There were more than 20 ex-External students at the reception who had transferred to LSE or to other Universities in the UK including City University, the University of Warwick and the University of Strathclyde. We are delighted that so many good students are able to continue their studies having started as University of London External students; this demonstrates the flexibility and recognised standard of the degrees for External students.
If you are considering transferring to another University in the UK at Masters level you should apply to the University of your choice and let the LSE External Study office know by emailing externalstudy@lse.ac.uk. You are reminded that if you want to apply to UK universities for entry into the second year you should apply through UCAS in the normal way and indicate that you are applying for the second year of study. You can find more advice about this in your Student handbook.
