eirikkss Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Hi, Some background: I am a European student looking to apply for PhD in Economics. I have a European three year BSc in economics and mathematics, which is why I am applying for a masters program. I have (very) solid LOR's and good research experience. I'm open to PhD either in Europe or in the US (prefer US or UK). Interests: Microeconomics (public econ, pol econ, theory) and Finance (macro finance), but subject to change obviously. I have these choices for MSc so far: - Warwick MSc Economics (https://warwick.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/courses-2018/econmsc/) - Barcelona GSE MSc Finance (2nd choice, was rejected for Econ--though they are basically the same program) (Finance Program | Barcelona Graduate School of Economics) - Sciences Po Masters in Economics (http://www.sciencespo.fr/ecole-doctorale/en/content/master-s-economics) - Manchester MSc Financial econ (was a safety) Waiting for: - Paris School of Economics (APE Masters) - Dual degree QEM (Quantitative Economics) at Paris and Sciences-Po http://econ.sciences-po.fr/dual-degree-economics-and-quantitative-economics - Bologna LMEC I haven't taken the GRE, which is why I didn't apply to LSE and US masters. The GRE is only given once per year where I live, so I am planning to take it this summer/fall when I have moved to a bigger city for my MSc (where it's hopefully given more often). I asked my letter writers, and one recommended Sciences Po due to it being two years (I'd reach a higher level in the micro sequence), and they have some good names in micro (Robin etc.) The other one recommended Warwick. Cost of tuition is not an issue. I am a bit concerned about the one-year length, I would prefer the two-year courses but I'm open for feedback.

eBopBob Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 If you're really into micro, and political economy especially, you should probably consider ECARES. It has a two year Research Master, with a strong faculty in micro theory and political economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
