Yes, of course. Simply email admissions@lis.ac.uk if you would like to request feedback on your application. If your application is unsuccessful you may reapply to LIS either the following year or in a future year. We strongly advise that you request detailed feedback on your original application if you are unsuccessful and wish to reapply.
Will you take my background or personal circumstances into consideration?
It is our goal to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged due to their background or personal circumstances.
We will take your personal and family background into account when considering your academic attainment. This will not impact the likelihood of your being made an offer. Only where we consider that you show strong academic attainment given your personal background will this have any bearing on our decision-making.
What qualifications do I need to apply for this Master’s Degree?
Our typical entry requirement is a 2:1 in any UK undergraduate degree or the equivalent.
What funding (bursaries/scholarships) are available?
We have a number of financing options available. You can find out more information about your options on our master's finance page here.
