I am doing BSc Mathematics and Economics through the LSE External Study programme and thought that it might help improve my profile and prepare me for research.
What do you guys think? |
I'm sure it would help. However, as your currently in the British system, you might consider a masters in finance which could act as the first year of your PhD if you stayed in the UK. I think they're mostly pretty quantitive, so they'd probably help applications to US PhDs as well if that what you want to do and you'd still (assuming you do well) have the UK PhD option as a backup. At LSE the MSc Finance and Economic (Research) is the route onto their PhD program.
