Dear Student,

Study Month 23 February 20 March 2015

We are delighted to invite you take part on this years Study Month.
This is the second year we have run the event and we are excited to offer an even fuller range of
courses and activities.
The event is run online via the VLE, and will provide you with the opportunity to
assess your progress in your course
ask questions of an academic specialist
participate in online activities and discussions
plan how to progress with your courses towards your exams
Study Month comprises a series of online video sessions. It begins with sessions on how to
approach your studies and how to get the most out of the event. We will then broadcast
academic sessions on a number of courses. The sessions will cover:
1. Core concepts of the course
2. Key debates of the course
3. Examination advice
The first two sessions will be broadcast at the beginning of week one and week two, and will
contain reading advice and activities for you to complete during those weeks.
In week three the lecturer will set sample exam questions, which you will have one week to work
through. In week four, a third recorded session will advise you on how you should have
approached the questions.
Online forums will be available throughout the event, where you can discuss the concepts and
debates raised in the sessions. A lecturer will be online at regular intervals to answer your
questions.
Please see the attached flyer for details of all the courses offered and a full timetable.
We look forward to seeing you online early next year.
Best wishes,
LSE Office for the University of London International Programmes
