The Programme - An Overview
The preliminary year of the two-year MSc in Economics is a nine-month programme whose objective is to admit students with high academic ability and a basic knowledge of economic theory and to develop their skills to the point where they are eligible to the main MSc year. The course is sometimes described as the Diploma in Economics because that is the name of the degree awarded at the end of the year to those who have passed the examinations. For the purposes of further study or future employment, the Diploma is broadly equivalent to the bachelor's degree in economics awarded by the LSE. Your attention is also drawn ot the requirements for progression from the preliminary year to year two of the programme. These can be found in the LSE Calendar under MSc Economics (Two Year Programme).
