Dear First Year BSc Management Student,
On behalf of the School and the Interdisciplinary Institute of Management, let

me extend you a warm welcome.
My role as Departmental Tutor is to work with administrative and academic

colleagues to ensure that the BSc Management functions smoothly. In this
capacity I will be leading the Induction session.
The purpose of the induction meeting is to introduce you to the IIM and to
discuss 1st year course choices.
A part of the induction activities is a Management Teamwork Session, which

will take place from 1.45pm to 5pm on the same day in Room D702. This
exercise will be discussed in more detail during the morning induction
meeting.
If you are unable to attend the teamwork session, you must notify Sharon
Halkyard (020 7955 7920) in advance and provide acceptable reasons, as this
activity is considered compulsory.
I ask you to review the information presented in the attached booklet over the
next few days.
With very best wishes.
Dr David Lane
Departmental Tutor

The Interdisciplinary Institute of Management (IIM) is the academic

unit of the School dedicated to research and teaching about
management. The IIM’s main responsibility is to organize and
largely deliver the BSc Management and MSc Management
courses. The IIM’s academic staff are social scientists who draw on
such disciplines as economics, political science, sociology,
psychology, history, and management science. Many members of
the academic staff hold appointments in other departments and
institutes, including Economics, Government, Sociology,
Methodology, and Operational Research. Research and teaching
specialties include managerial economics, strategy, public
management, human resource management, and marketing.
The curricular content of the BSc and MSc courses reflect a

dedication to bringing the social sciences to bear on the study of
organisational processes, environments, problems, and choices.
Thus, while the subject of management is our focus, the approach
reflects the academic traditions and strengths of the London School
of Economics and Political Science.
The IIM is presently headed by Professor Diane Reyniers. The

IIM’s administrative staff is headed by Mrs Sharon Halkyard.

degree. The members of staff involved in tutoring first year BSc students are
Professor Peter Abell, Professor David de Meza and Dr Jörn Rothe.
In essence, the tutor is the member of staff to whom you are able to turn for
advice on any matter you think is appropriate. The tutor is responsible for
monitoring your progress through the year. You are required to meet your
tutor at least twice per term and it is your responsibility to arrange these
meetings.
If you are having problems, your tutor is the first person you should contact.
This includes academic problems but also personal problems which are
affecting your academic work. We cannot stress enough that we cannot help
you if you do not let us know you are experiencing difficulties, so please let us
know as soon as possible. However, if you do not want to talk to your tutor
you could see either another member of academic staff, a member of the
administrative staff or one of the School or Student union counsellors.
If you are dissatisfied with your tutorial arrangements, please see Sharon
Halkyard. This meeting will be held in confidence if necessary.

IIM Staff-Student Liaison Committees

The Interdisciplinary Institute of Management has Staff-Student Liaison
Committees, which meet once a term to discuss a variety of issues
surrounding academic studies in the IIM. Representatives from each year of
the BSc programme, the MSc programme and the PhD programme are
members of the committee and report on any issues that may have been
raised by the students they represent. Each year group meets separately.
Representatives will be expected to attend all three meetings and the

feedback meeting in the Lent Term. Before each meeting it is essential that
they contact other BSc first year students to be able to take up issues in the
meeting. After each meeting they will be expected to report back to the other
first year BSc students.
We need to appoint THREE first year BSc representatives for the 2005-2006
session.
If you are interested in being considered for election as a first year BSc
representative, please indicate your interest on the ‘Contact Details’ form,
which must be returned to Peter Mellows in G500 by Friday 7th October
2005.
Copies of minutes taken at past meetings are available on public folders:

Public Folders/All Public Folders/Departments/IIM/Minutes of Staff-Student
Meetings
The student representatives also have use of a notice board in the IIM
(outside G501) so all students can be aware of what their reps are doing.
If you have any queries relating to this Committee, or would like to meet with
any current representatives, please contact Sharon Halkyard in G501 who will
be happy to help you.

IIM Student Resources

IIM Public Folders
The IIM Public Folders are used as a repository for documents and files which
can be picked up by students in the IIM. You have ‘read only’ access to these
folders. They are used by staff of the IIM to place lecture notes and other
documentation for students to pick up in their own time. You should check
them regularly.
IIM Web Pages
The School places a large emphasis on individual departments, institutes and

centres within the LSE taking control of their websites. We have included
various new pages within the Institute’s site and new hyperlinks to existing
pages within the School web. Some of the new pages are: - individual
academic staff pages (which tell you all about a member of faculty, display
their CV, current working papers and their teaching materials); individual
pages for the Institute’s research students; hyperlinks to course guides for
Management core courses and options; etc.
You can find the Interdisciplinary Institute of Management’s web pages at:
www.lse.ac.uk/collections/IIM
IIM Student Common Room
The IIM has an Undergraduate Student Common Room for use by BSc
Management students. This is situated in G400, on the fourth floor of 20
Kingsway or ‘G’ building. It has desks and easy chairs. You will need an
entry code to get into the room. (The entry code will be given to you at the
Induction Meeting and by email.) Make sure the door is locked when you
leave and don’t give the entry code to anyone who is not an IIM student. MSc
Management students have a separate common room. They should not use
your common room, nor should you use theirs.
Group Study Rooms
The LSE Library has a limited number of rooms set aside for group study.
These can be booked in advance. Students wanting to use these rooms
should contact the Library.
22
Your Personal Timetable

It is very important that you know when and where lectures and classes take
place. Because all students take a slightly different programme of courses, it
is not possible for us to give you a timetable now. However, it is easy to find
your timetable yourself.
The web pages for the Timetables Office can be found at:
http://www.lse.ac.uk/admin/timetables/
Personal timetables for first year undergraduate students will be available on

the Timetables web pages from Friday 7th October. This is accessible by your
student number, will list your own personal timetable and will let you know to
which classes you have been allocated. There are no classes for
undergraduate students in week one. However, there are lectures during
week one so you should check the main Timetables web page for information
on when and where these lectures will take place.
Course Day Time Place

AC100 (optional)
EC102 (compulsory)
MA107 (compulsory)
MN100 (compulsory)
MN101 (compulsory)
ST107 (compulsory)
You should continue to check these pages regularly throughout the year as
changes could be made at the last minute. For example, the room may have
changed or the class may have been cancelled. This ensures that you attend
the correct class on time.
If you have any problems finding your timetable, please ask a member of IIM
administrative staff for assistance.

LSE Learning Support

The Teaching and Learning Centre is dedicated to helping students make the
most of their studies. It offers study skills events, one to one help and on-line
help to students who feel they need extra help with their studies. Participation
in these events is optional but is recommended.
Study skills sessions on a variety of topics take place throughout the

academic year. They are invariably on Wednesday afternoons. Please see
the Teaching and Learning Centre website for further information
(http://learning.lse.ac.uk). The website also has advice on who to contact with
specific problems.
Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Adviser to Students

with Disabilities, Jean Jameson (j.m.jameson@lse.ac.uk) as soon as possible
to discuss general facilities and individual requirements.

School-wide Mentoring Scheme

The School-wide Mentoring Scheme is run by the Reception and Advice
Section in the Student Services Centre. This scheme is a peer-group support
scheme which enables continuing undergraduate students at LSE to be
mentors to new undergraduates.
The School-wide Mentoring Scheme is not an obligatory part of your induction

but it is there to help you settle in and find out more about LSE, and we
strongly advise you to take advantage of it. Once you have a confirmed place
at LSE you will be allocated to a student mentor, who will make contact with
you through your LSE email account.
The role of the student mentor is to act as a human signpost for a group of
mentees allocated to them by the Reception and Advice Section, usually from
their own department, particularly during the first few weeks of the
Michaelmas term. They are there to help new undergraduates settle in and
find their feet. All the student mentors have been through a training session
and are aware of the available support services for students around the LSE
campus, which range from the Medical Centre to the Students’ Union Advice
and Counselling Centre to the campus bookshop, and they can direct you to
someone who can help with any problems or queries you may have which
they cannot deal with themselves. Please bear in mind that the student
mentors are not counsellors or advisers and they will not be expected to
answer every question you have. They are students like you, but with more
experience of LSE.
Unless you indicate otherwise, you will be allocated a student mentor upon
your arrival at LSE. How you use them is entirely up to you.
If you have any queries about the School-wide Student Mentoring Scheme,
please email studentmentoring@lse.ac.uk
27
BSc Management - Subjects and Choices

In order to earn the BSc Management degree, you must succeed in subjects
that are part of the course. Which subjects are part of the course is a matter
recommended by the Institute and decided by the School. The curricular
design is reflected in the ‘degree regulations’, which are published in the
Undergraduate Handbook.
Students on the BSc take subjects to the value of four units in each year of
the degree. The regulations provide some, if limited, scope for choice in the
first year. The compulsory areas of study are economics, mathematics and
statistics, and behavioural science (psychology and sociology). The subjects
you take in these areas represent three of the four units to be taken in Year 1.
You have a wide latitude for choice for your “outside option.”
The regulations applying to Year 1 are as follows:-
1. Economics B (EC102)
2. Quantitative Methods Maths (MA107) plus Quantitative Methods Stats

(ST107)
3. MN101 Introduction to Psychology and Behavioural Science for

Management
4. An approved paper taught outside the department (the ‘outside option’).
In addition you will be required to participate in a seminar for first year

students (MN100), which will meet regularly during the Michaelmas Term,
starting in week 2. In this seminar you will be expected to make a short group
presentation.
Your tutor is responsible for advising you on the choice of subjects. In doing
so, he will be influenced by a number of considerations. For instance, you will
be encouraged to plan ahead so that your selection in Year 1 provides you
with the prerequisites for entry into the courses you would like to take in
subsequent years.
Generally speaking, a course with the code form MN1xx is a first year course,
MN2xx is a second year course and MN3xx is a third year course.
Note that some courses are taught by units within the LSE other than IIM,
including Accounting and Finance (AC), Economic History (EH), Geography
(GY), Government (GV), Industrial Relations (ID), Information Systems (IS),
International History (HY), International Relations (IR), Law (LL) Mathematics
(MA), Philosophy (PH) and Sociology (SO).

Suspension of regulations
These regulations constitute the structure and organisation of the degree
which you have contracted with the School and the Institute to study. You are
expected to choose courses within this framework. Optional papers should
therefore be chosen from those listed in Groups A-F.
In exceptional circumstances it may be possible for a student to be granted

permission to substitute a different optional paper for one of the papers 8, 11
and 12, provided that this optional paper is of an advanced nature. Such
circumstances involve a suspension of regulations and, as such, require the
student to make considerable efforts in making the case. The student should
first ensure that the teacher of the course in question will allow them to take it.
Second, the student should discuss the nature of their interests in the course
and their rationale for wishing to take it with their Personal Tutor. If the idea is
considered plausible then the student should submit a brief (~200 words)
statement of interest in LSE for You. This statement should include both a
description of the student’s personal interest in the material to be covered and
an argument for why the course should be considered as an element of a
degree in ‘Management’. This statement will then be reconsidered by both
the Personal Tutor and the Departmental Tutor for a final decision. Normally
the support of both the Personal Tutor and the Departmental Tutor will be
required, the purpose being to ensure that the academic coherence of the
Institute’s undergraduate degree is maintained in a manner that is fair for all
students and which ensures that the Institute’s intellectual project is
maintained. Please note that in such cases the decision of the Institute is
final.
Note, however, that students cannot, under any circumstances, take first year
options in their second or third years. All optional paper should be of an
advanced nature - i.e. not a 100 level paper. (This exclusion of 100 courses
does NOT apply to a 100 level foreign language paper which is not the
student's native language. These may be taken in the second or third years.)
Course pre-requisites
You should always speak to your tutor and the teacher responsible for an
optional course before opting to take it to ensure that you meet any pre-
requisites.
Timetabling
Please be aware that although a course is listed as a possible option,
timetabling restrictions may mean that it clashes with another course. If an
optional course clashes with the teaching of a core course then you will not be
permitted to take that optional course.

Submitting Coursework
Any work you submit to be marked should be handed into the IIM
administrative offices. It is very important that you obtain a receipt as proof of
submission and to allow us to be able to track down a piece of work in the
unlikely event that it goes missing. You will find forms, identical to the one
below, in a box on the wall outside G500 and on the IIM web pages. Please
complete both sections and ask one of the administrative staff to sign it. They
will then give you the lower portion as proof of receipt.
Do not, under any circumstances, write your name on assessed work.
The latest time coursework may be submitted to the IIM administrative offices
is 5pm.
Always keep an electronic copy of your coursework for yourself.

Code of Good Practice for Undergraduate

Programmes: Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Please make sure you read this code of practice, paying particular attention to
section three, the responsibilities of the student.
Introduction
This Code sets out the general School practices for all undergraduate
programmes. It sets out basic reciprocal obligations and responsibilities of staff
and students. It should be read in conjunction with all other School policies,
regulations, codes of practice and procedures as set out in the School's on-line
Calendar. The expectation is that all programmes will meet the standards set out
in the paragraphs below. This Code serves to inform students of what they may
reasonably expect and to inform departments of what they are expected, at a
minimum, to provide. Each department1 will provide a detailed statement of its
provision under this Code, to be published in departmental handbooks and on
departmental websites. These statements will provide a basis for monitoring the
academic activity of departments through the Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Committee and its internal reviews of teaching. The statements will also provide a
basis for monitoring the pastoral provision of departments by the Student Affairs
Committee.
Tutorial provision
1.1 On joining the School each student is allocated a member of the academic
staff in his or her department as a personal tutor.
1.2 Each department sets out in the relevant handbook its own detailed
guidelines regarding the role of the personal tutor. Among those
responsibilities that a tutor is normally expected to carry out are:
• To provide students with academic guidance and feedback on the
student’s progress and performance and to discuss any academic problems
they may experience.
• To provide pastoral support on non-academic issues and to refer
students, as necessary, to the appropriate support agencies within the
School.
• To implement the provisions outlined in Individual Student Support
Agreements (ISSAs) for students with disabilities, in liaison with the School’s
Disability Office.
• To maintain regular contact with the student on academic and pastoral
issues through direct one-to-one meetings and other means of
communication, such as emails. The number and nature of meetings may
vary between departments and programmes as detailed in the relevant
handbook.
1
For the purposes of this Code, the term 'Department' comprises both Departments and Institutes.
33
• To comment on and provide a general assessment of a student’s

progress on their termly class reports via LSEforYou.
• To agree students’ course choices via LSEforYou.
• To inform the Departmental Tutor and School of any students whose
attendance and progress is not satisfactory.
1.3 Each tutor must have a good working knowledge of the structure and
regulations of degree programmes in the department.
1.4 Each tutor must have a good working knowledge of the various academic and
pastoral support agencies within the School.
1.5 Each tutor must publish regular periods of time when they are available to
meet with their tutees.
1.6 If the relationship between a tutor and tutee is unsatisfactory, the department
must have in place an appropriate mechanism for arranging a change of tutor.
1.7 Each department has a Departmental Tutor. The responsibilities of the

Departmental Tutor include:
• Providing departmental induction programmes for new and continuing
students.
• Monitoring the academic and pastoral care provided by members of his
or her department, including the provision of reasonable adjustments for
students with disabilities.
• Arranging regular termly meetings of a staff-student liaison committee
and the nomination of a representative to the School’s undergraduate
students’ consultative forum.
• Providing a direct channel of communication between the School and
any student who is encountering academic or pastoral difficulties.
• Agreeing, where appropriate, a student’s request for course choice
outside the degree regulations.
• Agreeing, where appropriate, a student’s request for a degree transfer.
Teaching
2.1 The detailed requirements of each programme and course are provided in the
on-line Calendar, in the relevant handbook and on departmental web pages.
Students are obliged to complete all course requirements as specified in their
degree regulations.
2.2 Teaching at the undergraduate level will be a combination of lectures and

classes. The teaching method used will largely be determined by the size of
the programme and the nature of the subject covered in a particular
paper/course.
34
2.3 Lectures are an important part of the teaching and learning experience. The
structure and content of each course are set out in the on-line Course Guide.
Lecturers must ensure that their teaching is consistent with this information.
2.4 Lecturers are responsible for organising the class programmes for their
courses and liaising with class teachers to ensure that the classes are
properly coordinated with their lectures.
2.5 Classes are a compulsory part of the teaching and learning experience.
Class sizes should not normally exceed 15 students.
2.6 Classes will normally give students the opportunity to participate in a

discussion of material relevant to the course. The nature and format of these
discussions will vary according to the subject matter of the course.
2.7 Lectures and classes start at five minutes past the hour and end at five
minutes to the hour. Staff and students should make every effort to start and
finish on time.
2.8 Formative coursework is an essential part of the teaching and learning

experience at the School. It should be introduced at an early stage of a
course and normally before the submission of assessed coursework.
Students will normally be given the opportunity to produce essays, problem
sets or other forms of written work. The number of these pieces of work for
each course will be detailed in the on-line Course Guide.
2.9 Feedback on formative course work is an essential part of the teaching and
learning experience at the School. Class teachers must mark formative
course work and return it with constructive comments to students normally
within two weeks of submission. They must record the marks, or the failure to
submit course work, regularly via LSEforYou.
2.10 Class teachers must record student attendance on a weekly basis via
LSEforYou.
2.11 Class reports are an integral part of the School’s monitoring system on the
academic progress of its students. Class teachers must complete, via
LSEforYou, full and accurate reports, including a general assessment of each
student’s progress, at the end of the Michaelmas and Lent Terms.
2.12 All full-time members of staff and part-time and occasional teachers must
have regular weekly office hours during term time when they are available to
students to discuss issues relating to the courses they are teaching. These
hours should be displayed outside their offices.
35
Responsibilities of the student

3.1 Students are required to attend the School for the full duration of each term.
Students who wish to be away for good reason in term time must first obtain
the consent of their tutor. Students away through illness must inform their
tutor and their class teachers and, where the absence is for more than a
fortnight, the Student Services Centre.
3.2 Students with disabilities which may impact on their studies should contact
the Adviser to Students with Disabilities and /or Dyslexia in good time to
negotiate reasonable adjustments which will be set out in an Individual
Student Support Agreement. They must also agree to the extent to which this
information will be shared within the School. If the School is not informed
about a disability in good time, it may not be able to make the appropriate
reasonable adjustments.
3.3 Students must maintain regular contact with their personal tutor to discuss
relevant academic and pastoral care issues affecting their course of study.
These should include:
• Guidance regarding course choice
• Discussion of academic progress based on termly class reports
3.4 These discussions should take place through direct one-to-one meetings and
other means of communication, such as emails. The number and nature of
meetings may vary between departments and programmes as detailed in the
relevant handbook.
3.5 Attendance at classes is compulsory and is recorded on LSEforYou. Any

student who is absent on two consecutive occasions or is regularly absent
without good reason will be automatically reported to their personal tutor.
3.6 Students must submit all required course work, whether assessed or non-
assessed, on time. In submitting course work, students must abide with the
School's policy on plagiarism as set out in the School's on-line Calendar.
3.7 Permission to sit an examination may be withdrawn from students who

regularly miss classes and/or do not provide required course work.
3.8 Students should ensure the accuracy of the information regarding their course
of study, including their class schedule, class attendance and submission of
course work, contained in their personal LSEforYou account.
3.9 Students must communicate changes of term time and home addresses to
the Student Services Centre via LSEforYou as soon as they occur.
3.10 Students must pay School fees when due. Failure to pay fees could result in
the withdrawal of Library rights, termination of registration, and/or the
withholding of transcripts and/or degree award certificate.
36
3.11 Students who decide to interrupt their studies or withdraw from the School
must inform their personal tutor and the Student Services Centre in writing.
Failure to inform the School could result in a demand for fee payment for the
full session.
Examination and Assessment

4.1 Students must complete all elements of assessed work for each course.
Methods of examination and assessment for each course are detailed in the
on-line Course Guide. In submitting course work, students must abide with
the School's policy on plagiarism as set out in the School's on-line Calendar.
4.2 Students must be given clear advance warning of any new or approved
changes to examination format. When the content of a course changes to the
extent that previous examination papers may not be a reliable guide to future
papers, lecturers should warn students and should produce sample questions
for the new parts of the course. When the course is new and, there are no
previous papers, a full sample paper should be produced.
4.3 School policy does not require individual feedback on summative

assessment. Where feedback on summative assessed coursework (but not
examinations) is provided, the nature and extent of such feedback will be
detailed in the relevant handbook.
4.4 Students who regularly miss classes and/or do not provide required course
work may be denied permission to sit an examination.
4.5 Any student who requires special examination arrangements must contact the
Adviser to Students with Disabilities and /or Dyslexia so that reasonable
adjustments can be made. Applications for special exam arrangements
should normally be made no later than 7 weeks before the date of the
student’s first examination.
4.6 Any mitigating circumstances in the period preceding or during the

examinations that may affect a student’s attendance at, or performance in,
examinations must be communicated in writing to the Student Services
