LLM UCL / KCL / LSE / QMUL 2018-19


I have not been able to bring myself to submit my LL.M application to LSE. I graduated with a 3.3/5.0 GPA= 2.2 at undergrad, and a 2.1 in Law School. My school grading system is messed up, only a few get to leave with a 2.1, i.e 3.5/5.0.

Do I stand a chance at LSE?


You'll never know unless you try. Grades aren't everything. Maybe try explaining your situation in your personal statement? And pair it with great references and you'll definitely stand a chance! Good luck!

Hi everyone, I applied to all four in early February but I'm worried if that's considered late. Does anyone know of people who applied in Feb last year (and so on) and have gotten in just fine?

Hi Guys, since the time I submitted my kcl application the status is "received and being processed" and has not changed. It's been 4 weeks.

Any thoughts on when I may get my results?

Hi David,

What is your documents status ? You should receive an answer few days after the status is changed in "Document is OK".

Hi Desty,
Thank you for your answer.
My document status states that 'Document is suitable to proceed with assessment'. It was changed about a week ago.
So a few more days?

Hello all, I have received unconditional offers from LSE and UCL. Which one is more recognized in the UK? Have had opinions on both sides.

Did anyone receive a scholarship from LSE?


Hi everyone.

I'm actually quite curious to know how they determine who is to be awarded the scholarship since you get a response (usually a "no") immediately after submitting the application form.

So guys, which scholarships are available for non-European students other than LSE Graduate Support Scheme?

No problem! I have submitted it on January 6th and received my offer on February 7th. They estimate a 6-week period to provide their response.

Many thanks for letting me know. With regards to your previous question (which university is better), it really depends on your specialisation - is it a general LLM or Energy, Human Rights, etc? According to the Timer Higher Education, UCL is ranked 8th for law worldwide, however, many people in London tend to favour LSE over UCL. LSE is harder to get in than UCL so their entry requirements could give you some indication about the type of people on the course. Good luck :)

May I ask you when your application became complete? Did you receive the acceptance/offer via e-mail or you were sent a notification that something has changed in your UCL portal? Many thanks.

They inform that something changed in the portal. The offer notice is not sent by email.

It is an LLM in International Business (LSE) and International Dispute Resolution (UCL). I am inclined to go to LSE, but have heard that UCL is better..
