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

Cindi, November 2007Overall score
My university experience has been wonderful. Filled with both joyeous and difficult moments. I would recommend to others to attend. What could be bettered are the computer clusters. There is a need for more as the student population seems to be growing every year.
Study experience
Difficult but interesting. The best part was meeting people from different and competitive backgrounds. The lecturers are very helpful and always willing to guide you. More research has to be done and the manner in which questions are answered is really different.
Facilities
The university library is a jewel. It's got all the important and necessary information a student would require. There are enough computers to go around. University of Leeds has an amazing Sports facility.
Postgraduate life
There are so many clubs and societies to choose from. The best was the music club cause it did have alot of activities throughout the academic year.
Job prospects
Lots of opportunities to continue onto do an MA.
