At the start of this year LSE made the decision to change the term names and periods between sessions in order to make them more comprehensible, accessible and universally understood. These changes will take place from the 23/24 academic year in order to amend systems and communications.
The LSE has stated that the academic session names Michaelmas Term, Lent Term and Summer Term will be amended to Autumn Term, Winter Term and Spring Term, respectively. Additionally, Christmas break has been changed to Winter break, while Easter Break has been renamed to Spring Break. This decision was made by the School Management Committee following consultations and discussions which took place last term.
An LSE spokesperson told The Beaver that these changes were made to “use more accessible and widely recognised terminology, and better reflect the international nature of our community and our broader global engagement.”
