Group Leaders Information: pre-departure events
 

LSE pre-departure events , are now an annual highlight in the alumni summer calendar. They are designed to give overseas students about to start a studying at the School an opportunity to meet each other and to meet with alumni and current students prior to arriving at the School. It is a perfect opportunity to learn more about what studying at LSE and living in London is really like.

They also offer your group an excellent way to engage future alumni before they even set foot in London, and provide you with an opportunity to involve your younger alumni, whose recent experience of studying at the School is of most direct value to offer holders.
