Possible to switch courses?

Email the uni and ask. They may ask you to apply through clearing though.

Since when is LSE ever in clearing?

That would be pretty hard in all honesty. If you were switching to another quantitative degree such as in the department of maths or stats, they will most likely be more willing to allow the transfer (as the first year of the degree is identical to all other quant degrees - depending on options). International Relations has a completely different first year. You're essentially wanting a switch from a quant to a qualitative course, where admissions to courses are different to their quant representatives. That being said, it won't hurt to ask. I would first contact the head of international relations department (see LSE website) and then the admissions team. Unlikely to be allowed, but give it a go. Worst comes to worst and you still want to transfer, either reapply for next year or apply for International Relations at another uni in clearing (LSE do not take part in clearing iirc).

That's why I said may. No one can predict what the uni is going to say or what is going to happen.

I'm going to make a prediction that LSE will not be in clearing, based on this quote from their website "LSE does not participate in UCAS Extra, Adjustment or Clearing." (http://www.lse.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/howToApply/howToApplyHome.aspx)

Weirder things have happened. Arguing with me isn't helping anyone. Good luck op!

Not every discussion or disagreement is an argument...

You're on the TSR support team surely you should have thicker skin by now?

Unfortunately years in academia are responsible for my thick skin and my ability to spot wind ups and time wasters which i don't have time for. The OP has got the answer they need so I suggest you stop trying to derail their thread and find something else to do.

You clearly have the time to reply to every single one of my comments.

I'm not 'derailing' OP's thread. I actually did some research and found evidence that LSE will not be in clearing, rather than giving the same copy and pasted replies that you gave.

Finally, I am not a 'wind up' or a troll. You and many other people on this website, and indeed on the internet as a whole, need to realise that not everyone who disagrees with them is a troll.

You claiming you aren't derailing the thread means that you are in fact, derailing the thread.

You calling me out on 'derailing the thread' is, in fact, derailing the thread.

Derailing AND being unoriginal.
