How many courses can I apply to at the LSE?

Hi everyone,

Looking to understand if it would be advisable to apply to 3 courses that are similar at the LSE, if I can incorporate all (Which I believe I can).

The courses in question all have a common denominator, listed below:

- Politics
- Politics & Philosophy
- Politics & International Relations

Hi everyone,
Firstly, thank you for your comments. Regarding my university, yes I definitely want to attend LSE - I guess it is my dream university.
I was wondering the suitability to instead apply for two courses, being:
- Politics & Philosophy
- Politics

I understand there's an 80/20 split on Curricular and extracurricular. For the 80% however, how would it work incorporating both Philosophy and Politics into them. I want to talk about them in an intertwined manner i.e. like linking how certain politicians are influenced by their philosophy of development, and then discussing political consequences (Good/bad) that arise from this (that I'm interested in).

For LSE, ignore the 80:20 thing - they aren’t interested in extra curricular activities that aren’t related to your subject.

"You are welcome to apply to more than one programme at LSE; however you should ensure that they are fairly similar to ensure that you are able to write a relevant and well-focused personal statement.

"We advise students applying to more than one programme at LSE to be cautious, as they may find it difficult to effectively demonstrate their academic interest in the limited amount of space available in the personal statement. LSE does not accept additional or supplementary personal statements.

"You should also note that applying to more than one programme does not increase the likelihood of your being made an offer. Applicants who make applications to more than one programme at the School within the same cycle will be considered for all programmes applied to, however would only be eligible to receive a maximum of one offer from the School."
