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 uolip@lse.ac.uk

The University is in the process of changing its course codes to new six character codes from the 2011–12 academic year. These new codes replace any previous year’s examination numbers. This change does not affect the syllabus or content of the course/module. For a list showing how old examination numbers are replaced by new course codes please see this file: Economics Management Finance and the Social Sciences (EMFSS) [PDF: 2pgs, 32KB].

The reading lists are currently being updated.

Note: all of the files below are in pdf format.
