abroad in the third year of the programme. Information on the fees charged for a year abroad can be found at:
https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/divisions/Planning-Division/Table-of-Fees
UK Government "Studying in the UK: Guidance for International Students"
UK Council for International Student Affairs "Home or Overseas fee: the basics"

https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/international-students/fee-status-classification
Full time
The fees quoted are for the 2021/22 session at LSE (for one year of study in 2021 only), unless stated otherwise. If the duration of your programme
is more than one year you must check subsequent sources, e.g. the 2022/23 Table of Fees, for information on the fees payable in that academic
year.
† New entrants to programmes in 2021/22 or subsequent years will be eligible for either "Home" or "Overseas" fee status.
EU students who are new entrants to LSE programmes in 2021/22 onwards will be classified as having "Overseas" fee
status unless they fulfil UK immigration criteria.
For further information on these criteria please see these websites:
Please note that fees are paid in each academic year for which you are registered and normally rise each year. They will 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 fee level. Some fees may be
provisional, and this will be indicated.
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 period 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.

MPHIL/PHD FULL-TIME FEE STRUCTURE
The tuition fee structure for full-time 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 2021/22 the
2021/22 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 1, the 2022/23 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 Wellbeing
Service at the School as being a reasonable adjustment and recorded in an Inclusion
Plan. Cases will be considered on an individual basis by the Research Degrees
Subcommittee Chair in consultation with the Disability and Wellbeing Service.
MRES/PHD FEE STRUCTURES
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.
There are three different MRes/PhD structures operating at the School:
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 1. Students
entering on to these programmes will be charged a full research fee for the MRes year, a 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 2021/22 the 2021/22 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 1,
the 2022/23 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.

applies to students entering with a taught postgraduate qualification on the following
MRes/PhD programmes:

MRes/PhD Management - Organisational Behaviour

The tuition fee structure for MPhil/PhD programmes can be found in Table 1. Students
entering on to these programmes will be charged a full research fee for both years of the
MRes, the 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 2021/22 the 2021/22 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable
in year 1, the 2022/23 Table of Fees should be checked for fees payable in year 2, and so on.

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 2021/22
