LSE courses that do not require GRE or GMAT Masters courses without GMAT, GRE requirement at LSE So many students keep asking if they ever had a chance of getting through to studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science. While graduate admissions at LSE are completely merit-based (and of course the quality of your overall application), we wonder why would a student want to think that they didn't have a chance at all.The interesting question that comes up often times is if there are programmes at LSE that can be studied without appearing for a GRE or a GMAT test. We strongly do believe that students who really prefer studying at the like of LSE, London Business School (LBS) and such other top UK Universities should really be willing to take up and score well in the test. Nevertheless, there are some course options at LSE that we have been able to identify (as on date) that may not require you to have a GRE and a GMAT score:

MSc/Dip Urban Regeneration Overview The MSc in Urban Regeneration has been created in response to a great challenge facing Britain and the world: urban decline and the planned renaissance of our cities. The challenge is greater than restoring and rebuilding the physical fabric of cities and their heritage. We need to provide a new local economic base to replace the one that has been lost, to restore hope to communities that have been shattered, and to provide children and adults alike with a better chance in life. Master of Arts in Modern Art History, Theory, and Criticism The School of the Art Institute of Chicago has long been distinguished by its innovative and extensive curriculum in modern and contemporary art history. SAIC's Master of Arts (MA) in Modern Art History, Theory, and Criticism draws on the institution's setting in Chicago, with its wealth of historic architecture, public sculpture, numerous museums, libraries, cultural facilities, and active gallery scene. The program is the most extensive of its kind in a comprehensive art school in this country, and its curriculum allows for an expansive view of the historical, theoretical, and critical issues relating to art, design, and contemporary visual cultures. Fifteen full-time faculty teach modern and contemporary art from diverse theoretical perspectives in a wide array of global and international contexts. Many of our graduate students become curators, professors, writers, critics, publishers, gallerists, arts administrators, and activists. Faculty Advisors

Practicing Ethics and Ethical Practice: Anthropology, Science, and the Social One of the first signs under which the Obama administration was placed was that of a “new era of responsibility.” We assume that he meant “social responsibility.” And this has been accompanied by regular calls for increased transparency in government and for the revitalization of ethics as much more a part of our public life, in government, business, religion, and science. But there has also at times been a culture war–type fervor accompanying recent discussions of ethics, perhaps more than anywhere else regarding the ethics of science and the ethical conduct of scientists, where the role of science is drawing closer public scrutiny from government and watchdog groups, but also from the participants in scientific research. Ethical debate among social scientists is part of a bigger picture, punctuated by spectacular ethics crises, such as Abu Ghraib, the financial meltdown, the BP oil spill, and Wikileaks.

Academics Every day the world signals with ever more clarity what it means to be a global citizen at a time that holds more change, uncertainty and opportunity than any other period in history. Today the ability to think and act creatively is its own economy – one that the world is depending on for the human spirit to carry us forward.
