Hey to everyone!
Has anyone from those who applied late to LSE (late January early February) received an answer?
Thank you in advance

Hi, has someone done the pre- sessional course at LSE or knows somenone that has done it? I would like to know how difficult is to pass it??

Please help

Thank you for your reply. I dont't want to be so pushy about it. I have offers from QMUL, Nottingham and Manchester already. :)

It is the first year that LSE has put in place pre-sessional English courses allowing people to reach English requirements. Hence, you won’t find someone who followed those courses and who can help you.

Nevertheless, it is indicated that you have to reach a 75% if you want to fulfil LSE English requirements while KCL only asks for a 70%.

LSE has the same requirements as UCL’s ones (75%). UCL has established its program for a long time. May be you could ask a former UCL student if it was hard to succeed.

Congratulations!!
Thank you so much for your answer. My application was processed on 08/02 but I am still under consideration. I hope to have good news soon :)

UPDATED: I just received an offer!

Hi evanioan,

My application to LSE was processed on 09/02 and my application tracker changed its status tonight to "offer made". However, it seems that they sent my offer letter on 28/02, so I'm waiting for the mail ;)

Fingers crossed!

Hi! I recall reading somewhere on this thread that LSE were no longer accepting LLM applications, but I just sent off my application today without any problems! (Or have I unwittingly given LSE 65 pounds for free?!)

At least the LLM-programme is marked as closed on the website. Didn't you have to check a box that the programme you are applying for is still avaible?

Hey, I have a question. KCL states that we should pay 2000 Pounds deposit. Do we get this payment back after we paid the tuition?

Hi everyone!

First question, guys do you think it is a bit too late to apply to KCL now?

Second, is it me or there are no other formal requirements for personal statement to KCL apart from 4,000 characters limit?

Thank you!

Hi! I'm in the process of making my application to KCL for the same specialism - I've been struggling to find any information on the Transnational Law page about maximum personal statement length (I know in the online form it says 4000 characters, but then there's an option to upload a document if it's longer than that - do you know if there's a maximum for the uploaded document, and how long did you make your own statement if you can remember?)

I was also wondering if you found any specific guidance on the site as to what they want us to discuss in the statement, or whether you just did the standard stuff? For example, I know some universities specifically ask that you outline your dissertation topic, whereas others don't, but couldn't find anything on the KCL site!

Would appreciate advice from anyone who's applied to KCL, thanks! :)

Hi there :)

Regarding the personal statement, I personally wrote one on a .doc file and uploaded it as a .pdf file. I don't think there's any limit if you choose to upload your own file for the personal statement instead of filling the 4000 characters box. My personal statement for KCL is 1,359 words long (so 2 pages) and it was fine. But then, I have a friend who's currently undertaking the LLM there, and she got in with a 700 words personal statement, so it's really up to you.

KCL is indeed vague in terms of their expectations regarding the personal statement ... Personally, I wrote about my interest in international law (how and why it began, and the reason I chose to undertake my current degree), my interest in a particular domain (I am extremely keen on disarmament affairs, so I discussed my interest in that area and why, as well as my intention to write my dissertation/masters thesis on that topic), my interest in King's College and London as a city, and then I concluded with my career plans and how the LLM would greatly assist me in materialising my projects. I used the same format for my applications for UCL and QMUL as well. :)

Hope this helps!

Hiya! I don't think it's too late - I sent off my application last week. But the sooner you submit your application the better, I'd say! And yup the character limit is the only real formal requirement for the PS. :)

My PS was really short, only 400 words because I felt I'd covered the necessary boxes i.e. why the LLM, why KCL, future career goals etc. Hopefully that doesn't count against me!

Can I ask which programme did you apply for?

Thanks, all the best to you too! :) I applied for the general LLM and the Medical Law & Ethics MA. Which did you apply for?

Guys, another silly question, should one mention the names of the companies where you worked/interned at, or should it be kept rather general and I shouldn't write the names in my personal statement?
thanks so much
