Fees and funding
Scholarships, studentships, loans and tuition fees
Each year LSE offers generous scholarships to its graduate students. There are also funding opportunities from external organisations, research councils and governments around the world.
Tuition fees
Every graduate student is charged a fee for their programme.
Fees cover registration, teaching, first entry to examinations, the use of the Library and membership of the Students' Union. They also normally cover teaching and the use of student common rooms at other colleges of the University of London, if your programme has intercollegiate arrangements. If you receive an offer, you will be informed of the relevant tuition fee amount in your offer letter.
Tuition fee amounts
Tuition fee amounts are listed on the individual programme pages. You can also refer to the table of fees.
Fee status
In some cases the amount of tuition fees you will need to pay, and any financial support you are eligible for, will depend on whether you are classified as a home or overseas student, otherwise known as your fee status.
LSE assesses your fee status based on guidelines provided by the Department of Education.
Further information about fee status classification.
Fee reductions
Students who completed undergraduate study at LSE and are beginning taught graduate study at the School are eligible for a fee reduction of 10 per cent of the fee. Some programmes, such as executive programmes, are excluded from this fee reduction.
