Anon, June 2010Overall 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.

Marketing And Strategy Msc
University Of Warwick
Anthony, November 2007Overall 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.
