LSE MPhil/ PhD 2024/2025

Hello do any offers know about funding? I got an unconditional offer letter but no mention of funding from the LSE studentships, should I assume there is no funding or does hearing back from that take a bit longer? Thanks so much and good luck everyone!!

Congrats! Which dpt did you apply for?

Any news on Media and Comms/Data, Networks and Society? Interviewed in January last week, no response yet. I suppose they will respond after the first round of funding

It is listed that the decision will be returned within 8 weeks - is it a strict requirement for them? Im approaching 8th week soon and have not heard anything - nor an invite for an interview yet.

8 weeks is for masters. They said for PhD could be longer.

Thank you so much for your swift reply!! Those 8 weeks are stated in my application portal, hence, I should still not read too much into that then, right?

Not sure which program you applied to, but I waited 15 weeks before I heard from my potential supervisors re: an interview lol

Hi everyone, starting this discussion as I have not seen any thread discussing about MPhil/PhD applications at LSE for 2024 intake in both The Student Room and Reddit :/

May I know if anyone applied and have gotten back answers? I have mostly seen people who applied to MSc getting their results back but not MPhil.

Thank you!

~ p/s: I applied for MPhil/PhD Social Policy on 15 Jan 2024. My documents status changed to "received - not verified" on Thursday, 18 Jan 2024.

No way!! I would have lost hope already after 10th week - but did you manage to get an offer?

I was invited to interview for the social policy mphil/phd yesterday - I guess no interview was too good to be true lol

hello everyone! Potentially very stupid question here. I got an offer last week, but like many people (I believe) I'm waiting to hear back about funding from LSE studentships. Is it people's understanding that I will hear back about funding regardless if I accept? Should I accept first and then just hope? Thanks )
