FAQs

• What is the programme structure?
  
  Candidates typically begin on the MPhil, then upgrade to a full PhD once they meet departmental criteria, usually by the end of the first year. The full programme spans three to four years full‑time, or up to eight years part‑time.
• What happens after MPhil upgrade?
  
  After successful upgrade (prerequisites include course attendance, workshop participation, research progress), PhD students must undergo annual reviews. The typical time to completion is three or four years full-time (or up to eight years part-time) with maximum registration limits.
• What funding sources are available?
  
  Funding includes LSE Studentships, ESRC 1+3 or +3 studentships, and other external scholarships. All applicants submitted by deadline are automatically considered. Note: fully funded offers are rare and highly competitive.
• Will I be interviewed?
  
  Yes, selected applicants are invited for an interview after departmental review. Admissions decisions are made by a School-level panel after interview.
• Do academic qualifications outside the UK count?
  
  Yes, international degrees are accepted. Equivalent performance is assessed based on international GPA scales or grading systems. English proficiency evidence is also reviewed where applicable.
