If I am accepted for the BSc IR and then decide I would like to switch to another degree programme at LSE, will this be possible?
Yes, probably, if the Department responsible for the degree programme into which you wish to transfer agrees. But it is not an automatic right. You would need to gain the consent of its Departmental Tutor first, then the consent of the IR Departmental Tutor. Final approval is given by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies after you have taken the necessary form with both signatures to the Student Services Centre. The IR Departmental Tutor is unlikely to withhold consent if satisfied that you have given the implications of the proposed transfer thorough and informed consideration. The earlier in your first term that you ask to transfer, the better, because then if the transfer is approved it will be easier to make up the work for any lectures or classes you have missed in your new Department. Transfer at the end of the first year is also occasionally possible, if the same three approvals are obtained; but in that event the Department into which you wish to transfer for your second and third
