How to pick between the different LSE programs?

[Caesarxxiv]

Is the MSc Economics program inferior than the MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics program?

It seems that one can already get a PhD from LSE via MSc Economics + MRes/PhD. What are the advantages of the MSc EME program?

Can someone please give insight for the following programs?

• MSc Finance and Economics
• MSc Financial Mathematics
• MSc Statistics

1)In some ways it is. Econ people really do not have so much choice. They only have one option, whereas EMEs have two. And two options can equal 4 courses in other departments. The cohort is stronger. The name sounds better :P
2)No, both EME and Econ people are guaranteed a place on the PhD, subject to distinction - i.e. they are given a conditional offer automatically on application.
3)MSc F&E is a strong programme in the finance department with a great placement. It's the most respected programme in the finance department and has a very good placement. MSc Fin Maths is a money making course that's new. MSc Stats is good, but the stats depatment is not so great. Actually you can tailor MSc Stats very well... But look at the website.
