Reading lists

We have reviewed the reading lists for all units. If students find any difference between these lists and their subject guide edition, they should consider that these lists supercede lists in the subject guide.

You should be aware that these lists contain details of your essential and further reading; your subject guides may refer to other resources (such as websites or newspapers/journals). Any queries about reading lists should be sent to the LSE External Study office or emailed to externalstudy@lse.ac.uk
