Do you know how intensive the workload is at LSE. A year load is 4 full-unit courses. How many hours per week is each class, and more generally how intensive are such classes relative to law school llbs.
Also when does one register for courses?

hi Gss,
about the workload at LSE my friend says it is relatively light. but again it depends on the course you are taking and also the professor. My friend studied Int'l Business Law and had a fun-filled time at London. he had only about 6-7 hours of class per week with regular class reading. i would therefore think it is much better than those law school LLBs we did.

i'll also be at the LSE this year. i have one query with regard to the LSE graduate scholarships. Though in my admission application i had said i would want to study Int'l Tax Law i now feel a real pull towards human rights. my question is will i be able to state in my scholarship application that i would be studying human rights though i had not mentioned this anywhere in my admission application? and i also feel those guys have a real thing for people who study human rights.
anyone reading this thread----please help me out!

hey kate, thanks for the reply. The workload doesnt seem bad at all. I will be studying securities so it may be more intensive but I would think that the difference will not be too significant. With regards to your question, I can only advise that any discrepancies should be explained in your application; otherwise, questions will be left unanswered.

hi Menon,
i was looking at the departmental scholarships. what is this graduate support scheme you are talking about? is it the same as graduate merit award? i sent in my application by post and was not intimated about any such scholarship. is it because i was made a conditional offer?

are you sure my changing the subject preferences at this stage will not affect my offer adversely--considering it is a conditional offer.

From the LSE's online booklet (you can access it once you've received an offer):

"If you have missed the six week deadline your offer will not be withdrawn. However you should send the form in as soon as possible."
