LSE Summer School for Credit

Each Summer School course is equivalent to 15 EMFSS credits. You can earn up to 30 EMFSS credits (equivalent to one full EMFSS course) by passing two Summer School courses.

If you choose to transfer credit, your Summer School mark(s) will be carried across to your UoL record and count towards your final classification. Please note: you can attend Summer School without opting to transfer credit towards your EMFSS degree.

How to check if you are eligible for credit transfer

To be eligible for credit transfer, you must take Summer School courses that fit with the structure and requirements of your EMFSS degree. You would also need to achieve a Pass grade (‘C’ or higher) in your course(s).

You will need to have your Summer School course choice(s) approved by the EMFSS Programmes Team by following the steps below.
