Why have I been invited to take part in LSE Navigate?
We invite everyone who receives a contextual offer and confirms their place to study at LSE to take part in LSE Navigate. We also invite care-experienced students who come from the UK, including those who did not get a contextual offer.
Is it compulsory to take part?
No, it’s not compulsory but we hope you will want to take part! We’ve designed the information, support and activities as part of LSE Navigate to help you make the most of your time at LSE, but you can opt out at any time. You can also choose only to attend events and opportunities that interest you the most. If you want to stop receiving emails about LSE Navigate, email [email protected] from the email address you would like to unsubscribe and we will remove you from our mailing list.
How can I tell if I received a contextual offer?
You can find out the standard and contextual offer grades on each programme page and more information about contextual admissions and offers at LSE.
Who knows if I received a contextual offer?
Only LSE and LSESU staff members (this may include current students) who are directly involved in supporting your academic journey, such as your academic mentor, will be informed. This information is not shared with other students.
Am I required to go to every event?
We hope you’ll be able to attend as many events as possible, to make use of all the opportunities on offer. We’re aiming to design a programme that is useful and accessible to everyone who is part of LSE Navigate – if you have a request, idea or suggestion please let us know via email [email protected]. Everyone’s timetable and other commitments are different so we know you might not be able to attend everything, but we’ll try to run events at a variety of times across the year.
Who is eligible to take part?
LSE Navigate is open to undergraduate students from the UK who received a contextual offer, or who have told us they are a care-experienced student. You will receive a specific email inviting you to join LSE Navigate after your place is confirmed on A-level Results Day. If you’re not sure why you have been invited to join, you can email [email protected] to check.
What does a contextual offer mean?
LSE uses contextual offers to recognise that everyone’s educational journey and experience is different, and that A-level grades alone might not recognise true achievement and future potential. We want to build a diverse, global academic community of talented students, no matter their background. Contextual admissions and offers allow us to use additional information about your personal circumstances and background when considering applications from UK applicants eligible for Home fee status. A contextual offer will be one or two grades lower than the standard offer for the programme (usually not including any Maths grade requirements). Your contextual offer represents LSE’s belief in your future potential if you join our student community.
Am I guaranteed to get into LSE?
You still need to meet the grades and conditions in your offer to secure your place at LSE. Find out more information about contextual admissions and offers at LSE.
