Hi guys, please a litlle help:

 

I'm between USC Msc in Economics and Master in Economics (Policy Economics) from UIUC in US.

In UK, I am trying to decide among Msc Economics in Nottingham, Edinburgh, Warwick, Manchester and UCL.

I missed the deadline for Duke and Michigan, so I couldn't apply.

I want to apply later to a Phd in Economics. I'm interested in Financial Economics, Monetary Economics, Behavorial Economics and related fields.

 

Which one of the above would you take?

 

Thanks in advance

UCL is much stronger than Warwick. Overall UCL is in the UK top three for economics (LSE, UCL, Oxford) which are a big step ahead of Cambridge and Warwick, which are themselves a big step ahead of all other uni's.

 

UCL is very micro and metrics focused, so be prepared for a lot of mathematical rigor.

Throught the master I will decide if to continue with a PhD afterwards or to return to my current investment banking career, preferably in London.

I would be choosing UCL but I am still in time to apply to LSE Msc in Economics. I would have to take GRE. Is it worth the effort or just go with UCL?.

 

Please your comments!!!

 

P.S: Anybody knows why UCL is seen tougher than the Msc in Economics in LSE and the MPhil in Cambridge?. I' ve read several posts that states that.

 

Thanks!!

Well, forget about Cam, it could not even compete.

LSE Econ is pretty much the same level as UCL. Even the class size is close. UCL may be a little bit better in phd preparation. LSE has better reputation and it dominates if you aim at finding a job in industry as I think.

Besides, I think time left for LSE Econ is limited as you even haven't got a GRE score yet and it is already April. Also, the tuition fee is much less in UCL if my memory serves.

I see that you are accepted in UCL. Did you take the offer?. I already did.
