If I am rejected for the BSc IR (e.g. because it is full) but am accepted for my second choice which is also at LSE, will I be able to transfer to the BSc IR on arrival at the School?
Not as of right, no. Demand for places in the BSc IR degree is intense, and usually each year all places are easily filled. But if you are very keen to transfer in, you should express your interest to the IR Departmental Tutor with the possibility of transferring to the IR at the end of first year if you have done IR100 as an option in the degree that you are initially admitted to. We keep the situation under regular review. However, it is never advisable to accept a place on another degree programme, which your heart is not in, in the hope of being able to change to ours; you run a high risk of disappointment.
