Lse Fees Structure
Lse Fees Structure
The figures quoted are for the 2020/21 sessions at LSE only (one year of study), unless stated otherwise. If the duration of your programme is more than one year in length you will need to
check subsequent Tables of Fees, e.g. the 2021/22 Table of Fees, for information of the fees payable in that academic year.
Please note that fees are paid in each year (academic session) for which you are registered, and normally rise in each year. They do not stay the same as the year in which you started, unless
otherwise indicated in the tables below. LSE reserves the right to alter the level of fee. You should check the following table for the latest fee levels. Where marked, fees are provisional.
Further information about the fee structures in operation for research programmes can be found at the end of this document and should be read alongside the fee levels listed below.
If your programme includes a period of study at another institution, e.g. MSc Global Media and Communications, the fees for that time will be set by the institution in question and payable there.
Likewise, if your programme covers more than one year at LSE, the new fee levels for your second and succeeding years will be payable in due course.
If you register as a part time graduate student the fees quoted are for the first year of study only. In your second year you will pay fees proportionate to the appropriate full time fee at that time.
Further information relating to fee levels can be found in the School's Tuition Fees Policy.

will be equally split and charged separately by the two institutions.
8. In addition to the module fee listed for the Executive Master's in Law, students are required to pay a registration fee of £600 for this programme.
9. The School chooses to set its Home/EU research student fees in line with the levels set by the Research Councils; the fee levels for Home/EU Mphil/PhD and MRes/PhD students shown
here are therefore provisional until the amount is confirmed, usually in January or February prior to the commencement of study (e.g. January 2020 for the 2020/1 academic year).
MPHIL/PHD FEE STRUCTURE
The tuition fee structure for MPhil/PhD programmes can be found in Table 1. The tuition fee
for the first three years of study will be subject to inflationary increases in each year. In the
fourth year, no fee will be charged. If the School grants an extension to the registration period
beyond the fourth year of study then the full research fee will be charged for that year and any
subsequent years, i.e. from the fifth year onwards students will recommence paying fees.
Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change. The relevant Table of Fees
should be checked for the fee amount each year, e.g. for a student starting in 2020/21 the
2020/21 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 1, the 2021/22 Table of
Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 2, and so on. The exact fees charged to
each research student will take into account any periods of interruption, changes in mode and
other relevant factors. For example, a proportion of the fee will be charged where special
arrangements have been agreed for part time study.
The maximum length of registration is four years for full time research students. Exceptionally,
the Research Degrees Subcommittee Chair may permit a student to continue to register
beyond the maximum length of their programme. Students permitted to enter year 5 will be
liable to pay the full fee amount for each further year of study plus any inflationary increase.
The only exceptions are:
• Students who have submitted their thesis, and have been examined, but have a
significant period of revisions to make, i.e. 12 months, may be allowed to re-register
with a zero fee while making the revisions.
• Students with disabilities may be allowed to register beyond the maximum period of
study at a zero fee if this has been recommended by the Disability and Well-Being
Service at the School as being a reasonable adjustment and recorded in an Inclusion
Plan (IP). Cases will be considered on an individual basis by the Research Degrees
Subcommittee Chair in consultation with the Disability and Well-being Service.
The structure of MRes/PhD programmes at the School differs from the standard MPhil/PhD
structure both in terms of programme length and the fees charged.
MRES/PHD 1 + 4 PROGRAMME
An initial MRes year followed by a four year PhD programme. This structure applies to
students entering with a taught postgraduate qualification on the following MRes/PhD
programmes:
MRes/PhD Anthropology
MRes/PhD International Development
MRes/PhD Political Science
MRes/PhD Quantitative Economic History
The tuition fee structure for MPhil/PhD programmes can be found in Table 2. Students
entering on to these programmes will be charged a full research fee for the MRes year, full
research fee for the first three years of their PhD and a zero fee for the remaining PhD year. If
the School grants an extension to the registration period beyond the fourth year of PhD study
then the full research fee will be charged. Where fees are charged, they will increase by
inflation each year. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change. The
relevant Table of Fees should be checked for the fee amount each year, e.g. for a student
starting in 2020/21 the 2020/21 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 1,
the 2021/22 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 2, and so on.
Exceptions may apply relating to thesis revisions and disability as detailed in the MPhil/PhD
section.
MRES/PHD 2 + 4 PROGRAMME
Two MRes years and then four years of PhD study. This structure applies to students who
typically enter with a taught postgraduate qualification on to the following programmes:
MRes/PhD Accounting
MRes Finance
MRes Economics
Students will be charged the full research fee for the two MRes years, the full research fee for
the first three years of the PhD and a zero fee for the remaining year of the PhD. If the School
grants an extension to the registration period beyond the fourth year of PhD study then the full
research fee will be charged. Where fees are charged, they will increase by inflation each
year. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change. The relevant Table of
Fees should be checked for the fee amount each year, e.g. for a student starting in 2020/21
the 2020/21 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 1, the 2021/22 Table of
Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 2, and so on. Exceptions may apply relating
to thesis revisions and disability as detailed in the MPhil/PhD section.
