Postgraduate reviews

Great, but not for everyone

Management and Economics MSc

London School Of Economics And Political Science (University Of London)

Anon, June 2010

Overall score

Overall a good experience, during which I met interesting people, got introduced to top-notch research and, well, found a nice job. I think this MSc is designed for people looking for careers in consulting, strategy etc. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone with a strong economics background who wants a more applied approach: don;t underestimate the mathematical content of the course (especially if you did business/management rather than econ in undergrad)

Study experience

The MSc management and economics is a small program (around 20 people), and most classes are of this size.This implies a lot of interaction with professors, discussions, etc. Our professors are world-class experts in their fields, with impressive research and, for some, media appearances. I found most courses quite challenging, but nothing impossible. Be prepared for an interesting mix of theory (hard core mathematical models) and practice (case studies).

Facilities

The management department is in a brand new building with modern facilities, and we benefit from reserved study spaces, nice common areas and bright, modern classrooms. The rest of the university, however, has average facilities: the library has a nice architecture, but is noisy, overcrowded when needed and depressing. Sports facilities are simply bad (small, smelly gym)

Postgraduate life

Well, diversity is the keyword: LSE is one of the most international institutions of the world, and life in residences will enable you to make the most out of it (although residences are bad!). There are plenty of student societies, but most are either national (i.e. German, french, indian etc) or business/academia oriented (economics society, finance society...). I was part of some, but never really actively participated to any. Overall, I found most people at LSE quite interesting but too stressed and not very willing to go out at some times of the year. Compared to my undergrad, it was definitely quieter, less partying and more studying!

Job prospects

LSE name helps, but is not enough: you will also need a strong undergrad (in October, when you apply, you have no grades from LSE yet), some internships at least (especially if planning to go to Inv. Banking) and extracurriculars. Of course you have all the biggest names visiting campus (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JP, McKinsey, Bain BCG etc), which gives you the opportunity to network. But I would say the job market is super competitive, and an MSc alone won't guarantee a job.

A university with some of the highest calibre students

Marketing And Strategy Msc

University Of Warwick

Anthony, November 2007

Overall score

Firstly, the competition is extremely high to get into this university. But once you manage to get 320+ so UCAS points, I don't think there is a slight hesitation in joining this prestigious university.

For me personally, because I studiedin the Business School, the reputation aswell as the facilities really met my needs.

This included social events such as on the Warwick orientation they organise and the many societies that operate for fresh graduates. There is plenty to do in such an academically centred university life even if its the own cinema and drama theatre on campus!

Study experience

Course lectures for the business school tend to be researchers themselves which makes the lectures extremely useful.

Facilities

Although the uni is not as modern as I thought, the amount of books and journal articles available is immense.

Postgraduate life

The university has so many clubs from sport to cultural nationality clubs, it really helps to broaden your cultural acumen in joining some societies purely just to check out what they do.

A chance to study overseas

Marketing MSc

University Of Birmingham

Siew Ching, November 2007

Overall score

Excellent. It was a great chance to get along with people from other countries around the world. Yes, I would recommend the students to study in university and appreciate the chance to study well and enjoy the university life as much as they can.

Study experience

I enjoyed it very much and appreciated the chance of overseas study. The lecturers were helpful and friendly.

Facilities

Very good, excellent facilities.

Postgraduate life

I was a member of the Malayasian society, English club. I think the Englishs club is the best club for me. I could know alot of people from other countries.
