London School of Economics

Eligibility Criteria:

 

Who is this course designed for?

The programme is aimed at students with a strong analytical background who wish to combine economics at masters level with analytical courses in the management area. For most British students, you should have concentrated exclusively in your first degree on economics and quantitative subjects (not business studies), with standard courses in intermediate macroeconomics and microeconomics, and a number of advanced courses that use these as prerequisites. You should have a solid quantitative background with at least a year of calculus and statistics and should, for instance, know how to handle maximisation of a function of several variables subject to constraint, and be able to explain what is meant by an efficient estimator.

What career options are open to someone with this degree?

The course has been designed with potential employers in mind. Students can reasonably aspire to find good employment opportunities in business, consultancy and finance.
