Mai Mahmoud
BSc Banking and Finance,

Egypt
After studying for a Diploma

in Economics I became more
interested in studying the
repercussions of the recent
financial crisis on the banking
sector, and a BSc in Banking
and Finance has fulfilled this
interest. Besides adding a lot to
my knowledge, the University of
London courses have increasingly
challenged my analytical skills and
argumentative abilities.
Mai Mahmoud first took the
Diploma in Economics, which
she passed with Distinction. She
then took the BSc Banking and
Finance degree, which she gained
with First Class Honours. She was
awarded a Chevening Scholarship
and is currently studying for an
MSc in Economics at LSE.
The University
of London courses
have increasingly
challenged my
analytical skills
and argumentative
abilities.
A welcome from
the programme team
Welcome to a
global programme
How will I know if

this is the right study
programme for me?
Studying on one of the programmes

listed in this prospectus could change
your life in many ways. Not only can it
improve your career prospects, it can
also encourage you to think critically
and creatively and increase your
understanding of how and why modern
societies, institutions and economic
systems function in the way they do.
Ask yourself these questions:
LSEs motto is rerum cognoscere causas:

to understand the causes of things. You
can only find out the causes of things
by asking questions our programmes
will help you to think about why things
are the way they are. Though extremely
rewarding, studying social science is
very demanding and requires a major
commitment on your part. Many
students achieve outstanding results
and we are very proud of their success.
Our programmes provide an excellent
foundation for a wide variety of
careers ranging from accounting,
banking and information systems to
the media, civil service and journalism.
All of the programmes can act as a
stepping stone to further study at
undergraduate and Masters level.
LSE
Do I want to develop a questioning

outlook and be critical of my own work?
Do I want to link ideas from all the
disciplines I study to create new ways of
thinking about issues in the real world?
Do I want the challenge of developing
more than one way of thinking about
the social world?
Do I want to work co-operatively with
others to share my ideas and learn how
to develop this important skill for the
world of work?
If you can answer yes to all of
the above then you are certainly
someone who would enjoy studying
one of these programmes.
Whatever stage you have reached in
your education you can use the table
on page 10 to see which study path and
qualification is the right one for you.
We hope you enjoy looking through
the programmes on offer and look
forward to welcoming you.

How you study

Am I ready to study?
A University of London qualification is
highly regarded worldwide. Given the
academic rigour of our programmes,
to achieve good results requires a high
degree of self-motivation. But your hard
work will be worth it in the end, as you
will join an expanding community of
alumni with excellent career prospects.
Am I eligible?
You can take advantage of the wide
range of entry points, including a fast
track route for those who already hold
a degree. If you are not eligible for the
degree, you may be eligible for the
(please see page 50) or either the
Diploma in Economics or Diploma in
Social Sciences (please see page 44).
Flexible study
You can manage your studies to fit in
with your own schedule. As a guide,
you should dedicate at least 35 hours
per week for approximately 34 weeks of
the year if you intend to complete the
maximum of four courses in any one year.
Our programmes provide an opportunity
to obtain a prestigious qualification at
a reasonable cost. You can choose to

study independently or pay for face-toface tuition at a local institution, where
available. Please note that students taking
the Diploma in Economics, Diploma
in Social Sciences or the International
Foundation Programme must attend
a Diploma-teaching institution (please
see the list on pages 4649).
Study materials
Your study materials are available through
the Student Portal and are specially
written by academics appointed by
LSE. The cost of your study pack is
included in your initial and continuing
registration fees. Materials include:
The Student Guide and the programme
handbook, containing information about
examinations, University contacts and
important dates.
Strategies for success, with information
about study techniques, making the
best use of resources and preparing for
examinations.
Subject guides for each course studied.
Past examination papers and Examiners
commentaries.
Regulations containing full details of
syllabuses, programme structures and
degree classification criteria.
Books
You will need to purchase your own
books. We ensure all key books are widely
available either from internet bookshops
or by mail order. For more information see:
londoninternational.ac.uk/booksonline
Study support
Although the University does not
provide personal tuition to International
Programmes students, LSE does offer a
Summer School which provides additional
support for your studies (see page 12).
University of London staff can help you
with administrative queries. If you have
any questions of an academic nature
you will be able to contact the LSE
office, but please remember (especially
if you intend to study independently)
that LSE staff cannot engage in active
or regular contact or tuition.
Examinations
You are assessed by unseen written
examinations. You do not have to enter
for examinations every year: you decide
when you are ready. Examinations are
set and marked by our academics to
ensure your work is assessed to the same
standard as College-based students at
LSE. They are held once a year, in May/
June, at local centres in over 180 different
countries as well as in London. For most
courses you sit a three-hour paper (or
a two-hour paper for each half course).
For some courses a project/coursework
also counts towards your assessment:

Raphael Ng
BSc Econonmics and Finance,

Singapore
For me, the LSE Summer School

programme will always be one of
the pinnacles of my years at SIM GE.
It exposed me to new approaches
in learning, opened up networks
that I would not have been able
to gain otherwise, and motivated
me to seek more exciting and
enriching programmes during
my remaining years of study.
Raphael had just completed his
first year at SIM GE when he was
awarded a scholarship to attend
the LSE Summer School in 2014.
He is Vice-President of the SIM
Economics Society and was recently
announced as a recipient of the SIM
GE Scholarship. Read more about

Dr James Abdey
Department of Statistics, LSE

Statistics 1 is a core first-year
course for many of the LSEled degrees. Although its
compulsory, many students
may not have had much
previous statistical exposure.
To support students, a range
of learning resources relating
to Statistics is available through
the VLE. In the video tutorials
you hear me explaining a
concept. Rather than just solving
a question, I will also tailor the
answer for an exam situation:
Exactly how should this solution
be structured? What are the
Examiners looking for? You
cant get that level of guidance
straight from the subject guide.
The great thing with the VLE is
that its 24-hour access, wherever
students are around the world.
Online resources include video
tutorials, a Q&A forum where
students can post questions;
self-test quizzes for each subject
guide chapter; and recorded mini
lectures which are particularly

The route around

our programmes
The FHEQ framework
Course codes
you can take up to four full

new courses in a year
The UKs Quality Assurance Agency for

Higher Education (QAA) established
the FHEQ as a framework for all further
and higher education qualifications.
The six-character course code is made

up of three separate elements: the
subject area, the course level and the
unique course designator, respectively.
in your final year of study, you may

take five new courses in order to
complete your 12 courses, provided
you are not carrying a failed course
Providing an important reference point,

the FHEQ is based primarily on the
concepts of levels and comparability.
It helps providers of higher education
to: maintain academic standards;
inform international comparability
of academic standards; ensure
international competitiveness; and
facilitate student/graduate mobility.
Within the context of higher education
awards, the FHEQ levels are: Level 4,
Level 5 and Level 6. Levels 13 refer to
pre-University education, while Level 7 is
Masters-level. For ease of reference, we
have adopted the following terminology:
100 courses (equivalent to FHEQ Level 4)
By assigning each course to the
appropriate FHEQ level and presenting
programme structures in terms of levels,
comparisons can now be drawn more
easily across the suite of BSc awards.
Example
AC1025 Principles of accounting

AC denotes the subject
area (Accounting).
1 indicates that this is a 100
course (2 indicates a 200 course,
3 a 300 course).
025 is the unique course
designator (based on the
old course number 25
Principles of accounting).
Rules of progression
for BSc degrees
Another key aim of the redevelopment is
to make progression rules clearer. Courses
are taken at three levels, representing
the nominal three-year period of study.
In your first year of study you must
demonstrate the capacity to succeed at
Level 4 (100) courses before advancing
to Level 5 (200) or Level 6 (300) courses,
unless you have received APL.
In terms of your progression through the
Standard Route degree programmes,
the following rules apply:
16
you may take a maximum of five courses

at any examination period, in any
combination of new courses and resits
you may take an individual course in
your final year, provided you do not
take more than four other courses
in your first year of study, you may
only take 100 courses, unless you
have received APL and are therefore
permitted to take 200 or 300 courses
to be eligible for the award of a
degree, you must attempt all 12
courses of the study programme
and pass a minimum of 10 (although
this would result in a drop in the
class band of the degree award)
for the Graduate Entry Route degree
programmes, you must successfully
pass all nine courses to be eligible
for the award of degree.
Programme structures
All of the programme structures
given in this prospectus are subject
to confirmation in the 20152016
Regulations. The Regulations also
contain full details on the rules that
govern the choice of any course.
BSc degrees
Who are they for?
Choosing your courses
The BSc degree programmes provide an

excellent foundation for a wide variety
of careers ranging from accounting,
banking and information systems to
the media, civil service and journalism.
All of the programmes can act as a
stepping stone to further study at
undergraduate and Masters level.
For most degrees you have a certain

amount of choice in the courses that you
take. In the structures you will see that you
can choose from a variety of Selection
groups. You have control, within certain
guidelines, over the number and choice
of examinations you take each year.
You can gain a world-class degree

through flexible study, while being
encouraged to think critically and
creatively. The programmes will
also enable you to increase your
understanding of how and why modern
societies, institutions and economic
systems function in the way they do.
Degree structures
BSc degrees consist of 12 courses
when taken through the Standard
Route and nine courses through the
Graduate Entry Route. Courses are
classified as either 100, 200 or 300.
Accreditation of
prior learning (APL),
Standard Route only
You may apply for APL from up to four
full 100 courses. APL is awarded on
an automatic or discretionary basis.
You are advised to apply as early as
possible if you want to claim APL
from a course. For further information
please see: bit.ly/emfss_APL
Classification
Degrees are awarded with the following
classifications: First Class Honours, Second
Class Honours (divided into Upper Division
and Lower Division), Third Class Honours.

BSc Accounting
and Finance
Programme overview
This degree gives you
an understanding
of accounting and
finance that will be
useful throughout
your career. This
means that we do not simply teach
accounting techniques and focus on
computational skills with the aim of
immediate application, but to enable
you to evaluate their usefulness in
different contexts. We encourage
you to adopt a critical and flexible
viewpoint and to look at the subject
from a variety of perspectives,
including the international dimension.
Dr Libon Fung
Programme specifics
Where can it lead?
A range of careers including

accounting, investment banking,
management consultancy, financial
management, plus investment
analysis and management.
Features of the degree
A thorough grounding in
accounting and finance within a
strong social science framework.
An international flavour, developed
in consultation with academics
and professionals throughout
Southeast Asia as well as the UK.
The degree has been developed
by LSE academics within the
Departments of Accounting
and Finance, both of which
enjoy pre-eminent reputations
for the excellence of their
teaching and research.
Like all LSE

degrees, the
summer school
approach is very
critical, very
mathematical
and very
analytical and
I like that. There
is a very similar
mind-set, a
similar attitude
to teaching and
lecturing in Sri
Lanka. If youre
looking for a
good degree in
economics, then
there is no better
place than LSE
and University

BSc Accounting and Finance,

Singapore
My parents werent able to go
to university and it is their dream
to see all three of their children
graduate. However, the cost of
education and living expenses is
much higher in Singapore than
in my home country, Indonesia.
I am the first in my family to
study for a degree and wanted to
help with the financial burden. I
discovered that the flexible nature
of SIM GE allowed me to teach
in my spare time. I was earning
enough to be self-sufficient
and pay all of my university fees
with my own hard work. I am
so grateful I chose to study a
University of London degree
through SIM GE. Attending a
local university with more time
constraints would have meant
I wasnt able to pay my own
school fees and be self-reliant.

BSc Economics
Programme overview
This degree builds
on a foundation of
economic theory and the
necessary mathematics
and statistics in the 100
courses. It deepens that
intellectual platform in the 200 and
300 courses: a wide choice of more
specialised options including economic
policy, and the application of economic
theory to particular topics. Depending
on your choice of courses, the study
of economics will give you greater
understanding both of particular
areas such as public economics or
international trade, and of the broader
behaviour of economies. While much of
the subject is settled territory, one
of the excitements of economics is
that it remains work in progress, as the
recent international economic crisis
makes clear.
Dr Donald Verry
Programme specifics
Where can it lead?
An excellent foundation

for employment as an
economist in industry, finance,
government or international
organisations, among others.
You will benefit from the

expertise of LSEs Department
of Economics, frequently ranked
number one outside the USA
for its published research.
You will study subjects ranging
from how all the households and
businesses in the country interact
to determine national output,
to the balance of payments,
inflation and unemployment.
You will learn an approach to
analysing both social and individual
decision-making and a whole range
of problems often thought of as
being outside the conventional
domain of economics.

My degree has
taught me how
to take a logical
approach to any

informed about
the economic
situation of
the markets
we operate in
has equipped
me with the
ability to take

various external
factors that we
should consider,
while making
different

particular skill
is very much
valued by my
employer.

the combination of
so many fields, with
economics being
central. This degree provides you with
economic concepts that are relevant

well as the necessary quantitative
methods. Together with your optional
course choices these subjects cover
all relevant aspects of management
from many different perspectives. As
a result you will be able to understand
how organisations work and how they
interact. Analysing the structure and
strategies of firms will allow you to
understand the evolution of industries
and the functioning of markets. This
ability to apply economic reasoning
and to think independently about

BSc International
Relations
Programme overview
International Relations
started out as the study
of an international
system composed
first and foremost by
nation-states. Today, the
discipline considers the role not only
of states but also of a wide range of
international actors, from international
organisations to multinational
corporations, and from civil society
groups to terrorist networks. At its
heart are questions concerning
war and peace, international order
and stability, and the forces that
produce change in the international
system. In an era of economic
globalisation, International Relations
is also concerned with the close links
between international politics and
the global economy, and whether
globalisation is producing a more
integrated or more fragmented world.

A framework for understanding
the international aspects of
problems such as environmental
degradation, the globalising
of economy, development
and human rights, which are
recognised to be of increasing
importance in the 21st century.

Professor
Martin Anthony
Department of
Mathematics, LSE
Given this is a combined

programme in Maths and
Economics, there are obvious
career opportunities in
finance and related areas.
Its also a good preparation
for Masters programmes.
Its still the case, I think, that most
graduate jobs arent too specific
about what degree they want.
Employers want bright people
who can solve problems. What
matters, for many jobs, is that
you have a quantitative degree
from a good university, and that
its a good class of degree.
The reason a degree like this
is attractive to employers is
because what you learn when
you study maths is a way of
thinking, a way of modelling
problems. And thats particularly
true in a combined degree like
this where youre not just doing
pure maths but youre doing
some economic modelling.
Professor Anthony was one of
eight winners in the Student Led
Teaching Awards 2014, organised
by the Students Union at LSE.
What matters,
for many jobs,
is that you have
a quantitative
degree from a good
university, and
that its a good
class of degree.

BSc Mathematics
and Economics
Programme overview
This degree focuses on
how mathematics and
economics connect and
interact. You will not
only acquire technical
skills, but also powers of
analysis. The ability to think analytically
will enable you to adapt to new
developments in your chosen career.
We believe that the combination
of mathematics and economics
instils such ability. You will be able to
understand how rigorous proofs can
be given in mathematics, and see how
the theories developed can be used
in an economics context. The general
skills you will gain will enable you to
proceed to a successful career in many
fields. In this course, you will learn how
formal mathematics is done: why it is
important to have precise definitions,
and how results can be proved and
techniques justified.
Professor Martin Anthony
Programme specifics
Where can it lead?
A range of careers including finance,

business, management, accounting,
and professional or managerial
careers, particularly in areas requiring
the application of quantitative
skills (e.g. forecasting and risk).
Registering
with the
University
of London
International
Programmes was
possibly one of
the best career
decisions I have
made. Apart
from getting
a Bachelors
degree from
a recognised
university, selfstudy gave me
the flexibility I
needed to pursue
my passion
for tennis.

BSc Politics and

Programme overview
This degree enables
you to combine a
study of both politics
and international
relations. How political
power is distributed
and organised within the state and
between states is central to this
specialism. International relations is
concerned with the behaviour of states
and their relations with each other.
It considers some of the great issues
of international society, such as the
causes of war and the conditions of
peace. But it also concerns international
economic relations and such questions
as globalisation: its advantages and
disadvantages. I have been involved
in the International Programmes for
many years and my particular interests
are international organisations,
especially the UN system and the
European Union.
Dr Eiko Thielemann
Programme specifics
Where can it lead?
A range of careers including business,

journalism and media, the civil service,
the public sector and international
organisations.
You will study various types of regime,

the institutions of representative and
responsible government, the process
of politics and the forming and
implementation of public policy.
You will analyse political relationships
in the economic and social context
and take into account historical
influences on contemporary politics.
A degree in
Politics and
International
Relations is a
well-respected
one. It gives you
a background
and general
knowledge
which you can
later use in so
many different
spheres. And
the programme
offered by the
University of
London is really
interesting and
up-to-date.

Professor
Paul Kelly
Pro-Director (Teaching
and Learning), LSE
I wrote the study guide for
Introduction to modern political
thought, which is one of the
required first year courses on
the Politics and International
Relations programme. It gives
students a broad and general
theoretical framework within
which a lot of more recent
real world politics fits.
In structuring the study guide,
you try and give a clear indication
to the student how they should
deal with the material, what is the
process of note-taking, revision,
how do they read? We find that
our students go into all manner
of jobs including the civil service,
public affairs, NGOs, teaching,
political lobbying and journalism.
The range is quite extraordinary.
Different courses on our
programmes will give you
different kinds of skills. In a
course like mine, which is about
reading texts, its the ability to
critically analyse arguments.
Thats a very general thing, but
its a hugely valuable skill in
almost any advanced career.
We find that our

students go into
all manner of jobs
including the civil
service, public
affairs, NGOs,
teaching, political
lobbying and

BSc Accounting with Law

Programme overview
This degree aims to set the study of accounting, finance and
law in a broader social science framework. Understanding
the theory and practice of financial management, control
and accountability in organisations is central to this
specialism. You will develop an understanding of how
accounting and finance as a discipline is central to the
way in which management internally, and also various
stakeholders externally (investors, lenders, customers, the
government and the public) perceive, understand, and seek
to change and control the nature of organisations and the
ways in which resources are allocated to and by them.

Diplomas for Graduates

Who are they for?
Structures
The Diplomas for Graduates enable

you to extend either the depth or
range of your previous undergraduate
study. The diplomas are comprised
largely of honours-level courses drawn
from the undergraduate Economics,
Management, Finance and Social
Sciences syllabus. Specifically, they are
aimed at graduates who wish to:
Each Diploma for Graduates is made up

of four courses, which can be taken in
any order (there are no prerequisites).
You have between one and five years
to complete the programme.
acquire and demonstrate vocational

skills in a particular field in the
workplace and beyond or
use the Diploma as a basis for
progression into postgraduate
study and whose first degree
is in an unrelated field or
gain a stronger basis for entry to
postgraduate study at a university
and whose first degree may not
be readily acceptable as equivalent
to a good UK honours degree.
Features
As well as developing subjectspecific skills, Diplomas for Graduates
enable you to question and analyse
information, develop arguments,
and bolster your analytical and
communicative competence.
Entry to Masters programmes is
competitive, and at the discretion
of each admitting university, so you
should confirm with the relevant
university whether the Diploma for
Graduates is acceptable for entry
and, if so, what mark is needed.
You are advised to have a firm grasp, at

undergraduate level, of mathematics
or economics before embarking on
honours-level courses in these subjects.
If you hold a professional qualification
and/or postgraduate qualification
without a full first degree, you
cannot be considered for admission
to a Diploma for Graduates.
Entrance requirements
You must:
hold an undergraduate degree from
an awarding institution acceptable
to the University of London and
If you apply for the Diploma for

Graduates (Mathematics) you are advised
that, although not a formal entrance
requirement, it is your responsibility
to ensure that before you start this
programme your mathematics is already
at least at the standard of a first year
undergraduate degree in mathematics
and includes multivariate calculus.

further information on our UK
GCSE/GCE O level equivalents and
If you apply for the Diploma for

Graduates (International Relations)
you are exempt from the requirement
to demonstrate competence in
Mathematics. If you wish to transfer
from this programme to another
Diploma for Graduates at a later
stage, however, you will be required
to demonstrate competence in
Mathematics as described.
You must pass four full courses to be

awarded the Diploma for Graduates.
One resit may be attempted for any
course failed. Diplomas for Graduates
will be classified as Distinction, Merit
or Pass. A student who has failed a
course twice or two courses once
is eligible for a Pass grade only.
When honours-level courses are taken

as part of a bachelors degree, you will
normally be familiar with the subject
matter through having taken prerequisite
courses earlier in the degree. While
graduates are permitted to register
for these awards without taking the
prerequisites, you should be prepared for
the difficulty of the courses. For example,
you are advised to have a firm grasp, at
undergraduate level, of mathematics
or economics before embarking on
honours-level courses in these subjects.

Classification
Transfer
You will not be permitted to transfer

from the Diploma for Graduates to
the related BSc or other degrees or to
other qualifications offered through
the International Programmes. You
may transfer between the different
Diplomas for Graduates. A student
who fails a course twice may change
to another course, within the five-year
registration period, provided that
the failed course is not compulsory
on the Diploma for Graduates to
which they wish to transfer.
Please note: there is no accreditation
of prior learning offered for
any course on the Diploma for
Graduates programmes.

and think of how to use it in real

tough and required lots of hard
work but, if done properly,
were extremely beneficial.
I got full support from my

taught me from the basics
so I could understand the
more advanced work properly

Bhagya Ratnayake
BSc Sociology with Law and
Diploma in Economics,
Sri Lanka
You must pass all four courses in order to

be awarded the Diploma in Economics
or Diploma in Social Sciences.
Are you eligible?

To be eligible for the Diploma you must:
normally be 18 years or older before 31
December in the year you first register
with the University
be admitted to a course of instruction at
a Diploma-teaching institution.
In addition to the above, many institutions
recognised for teaching the Diploma
have their own admission criteria.
You should contact the institutions
directly for this information.
For further details (fees, entrance
requirements and application deadlines)
or to apply please contact your local
Diploma-teaching institution.
Further information
There are a number of universities in
the UK, including LSE, that will consider
you for entry into the second year of
a degree if you pass the Diploma with
very high marks and have taken the
appropriate courses (see page 57). To be
considered for a place, you will need to
apply through UCAS, stating that you
are applying for second year entry.
The Diploma is awarded with a grading
of Distinction, Merit, Credit or Pass.
You should expect your studies
to take 3540 hours per week.
You must attend lectures and tutorials
regularly and are expected to write
assignments, and while these do not
count towards your final assessment you
are required to complete them before
you can enter for the examinations.
In addition to the vast sociolegal exposure, the amount

of knowledge I gathered on
research, social policy and
development was extremely
helpful to develop my career.
Most importantly, the degree
made me a critical thinker, not
to be a parrot or take things
on face value. It taught me
to become more analytical
when dealing with literature,
evidence, data, and policy.

Additional educational
support
Student choice
We aim to give our students as much
choice as possible about how, when
and where they study. Some prefer
the flexibility of being able to study
independently, at their own pace, using
our study materials. Others prefer the
benefits of face-to-face teaching and
classroom support, and choose to pay
for additional educational support
at a local independent institution.
We currently work with a growing
network of 70-plus independent teaching
institutions worldwide that provide
tuition support for our students. We
refer to these institutions as recognised
centres and there are two categories:
Affiliate Centres have demonstrated a
sustained commitment to the quality of
teaching, support and administration;
Registered Centres have demonstrated
acceptable standards for the purpose of
supporting International Programmes
students in preparing for examinations.
The Diploma in Economics, Diploma in
Social Sciences and the International
Foundation Programme may be studied
either full time or part time. Students
must have registered through, and be
studying at, a teaching institution that
has been recognised for teaching these
awards by the University of London.
In the following list, institutions
that are recognised for teaching
the Diplomas are marked:

Transfer
Between programmes
listed in this prospectus
The programmes listed in this
prospectus have been designed
to make it easy for you to transfer
between them should you wish to.
If you are registered for one programme
and realise that another would be
better suited to you, then you may be
able to transfer to that programme.
Please note that in some cases you
will need to satisfy additional entrance
requirements for the programme to
which you wish to transfer (e.g. when
transferring from the Diploma for
Graduates (International Relations) to
any other Diploma for Graduates).
Full information and instructions on
how to transfer between programmes
are given in the Regulations.
Information on progressing from the
Diploma in Economics, Diploma in
Social Sciences or the International
Foundation Programme to one of the
degrees in Economics, Management,
Finance and the Social Sciences is given
on pages 44 and 50 respectively.
To another College
within the University
of London
Registering as an International
Programmes student with the University
of London does not mean that you
can automatically transfer at a later
date and complete your studies at one
of the Colleges of the University.
To another programme
we offer
LSE, Queen Mary and Royal Holloway are

three Colleges of the University that will
consider you for entry into the second
year of certain degree programmes.
It may also be possible to transfer

to another programme within the
International Programmes. This is not
automatic, and you will need to satisfy
any entrance requirements (both general
and course specific) for the programme
for which you wish to transfer (for
example, when transferring from BSc
Information Systems and Management
to BSc Computing and Information
Systems). You should also note that if
you transfer to another programme
(either listed in this prospectus or not)
any outstanding fees will be payable.
If you are taking the Diploma in

Economics, Diploma in Social
Sciences, or four 100 courses of
one of the degrees, you can be
considered for second year entry.
You cannot be considered for transfer
into the final year. To be considered
you will need to be taking courses
whose syllabuses are similar to those
taken at the Colleges concerned.
You will need to have been predicted
to achieve very high marks in these
courses and to have done well at school.
You will be competing with many
other applicants to all these Colleges
for a limited number of places.
To another university
in the UK or elsewhere
If you are thinking of transferring to
another university in the UK, Australia, the
USA, Canada or New Zealand we advise
you to find out by October (a year before
you hope to transfer) what the procedures
are for making an application. Within the
UK there are a number of universities
who have departments that will consider
you for entry to the second year of their
degrees if you are taking the Diploma in
Economics, Diploma in Social Sciences or
four 100 courses of one of the degrees.
Other universities in the UK may
consider applications from International
Programmes students. You should contact
the admissions officers of the university
concerned in the first instance and
direct them to the University of London
website which lists all the necessary
information about the programme.
To be considered for a place at a UK
university you will need to apply through
UCAS, stating that you are applying
for second-year entry. Your local British
Council office can advise you further. It is
advisable to apply before the closing date
in January and preferably well before this.
If you study at a teaching institution your
academic tutor will be able to advise you.
