MSc Economics, 2015
“I chose LSE for my postgraduate study mainly because of its renowned reputation. LSE seemed to be an excellent choice for learning Economics. It would not only provide me information and knowledge, it also provided the tools that are required for being successful. Also, I knew that studying at LSE will place me in the privileged position of experiencing closely and understanding the changes and the developments that are taking place in the field. I am currently an Integration and Trade Research Fellow at the Interamerican Development Bank in Washington D.C. and so far everything I've learned during my time in LSE has been extremely valuable for my career. In my job I am constantly using a lot of the econometric tools that we learned. Also, when reading and reviewing economic papers for my job I always found that the concepts and models taught at LSE helps my understanding of new and different models and theories.
The learning environment at LSE is a bit complex. Tools, like books, computers and software, are available and very useful. Despite obvious space issues, the interaction with students, teachers and professors is very enriching and generates a lot of value added for the individuals.”
