Student
Profiles
What’s it like to study with us? Take a look
at our MSc student profiles.
Michael Borsky, MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics says:
|
|
|
"The
[MSc EME] studies have not disappointed me. While the teaching’s
technical rigour is initially a challenge and certainly does
require considerably more effort than most undergraduate degrees,
it soon pays off. On the one hand, previously obscure arguments
in asymptotic theory and microeconomics suddenly become clear. On
the other hand, the in-depth mathematical framework provides me
with a knowledge that exceeds the skills of many applied
researchers, which proves the advanced degree of this programme."

Focus on:
Fulfilling Conditions, Supplying Required Documents and
Registration
|
|
|
Date:
- Registration takes
place on Thursday 25 August 2016
- Time – You will be
assigned a one hour slot to attend.
Note that any ‘Late Registration’ dates shown on LSE
webpages do not apply to your programme. There is a single
registration date for your programme: Thursday 25 August 2016.
Meeting
your conditions before you arrive
It is vital that you fully read the Graduate
Offer Pack, which outlines the various steps that must
be taken before registration. See especially: pp 12-13: Fulfilling
conditions attached to your offer/supplying required documents and
pp 16-17: Visa advice for international students.
Any outstanding conditions and documents are also displayed in your
LSE for You account; be sure to
submit these in good time. You will not be allowed to register
unless you have submitted all documentation specified on your offer
of admission and
all the legal documents (e.g. appropriate ID; Visa (if applicable))
necessary for registration.
Students are required to attend the whole of EC451 teaching and are
required to be registered in order to attend. Hence you must
register on Thursday 25 August 2016 before EC451 commences. If you
think you are unlikely to meet this date, contact the MSc Programme Manager as soon as
possible. Requests to register after 25 August 2016 may be
considered but will be granted only in particular exceptional
circumstances.
What to
expect at registration
Registration takes place in one hour slots. You will be
informed of your slot nearer the registration date. Ensure you have
all the documents you need – here’s a useful checklist.
[Note that this webpage is not yet updated for 2016 entry: re-check
for updates during the coming months.]
Once you
have registered, you will then need to:
- Visit the Library! Familiarise yourself
with the Library and what’s available for you to use as a
registered student. The IT helpdesk is based in the
Library should you have any IT queries.
- Take yourself on a
tour of LSE using the LSExplorer!
You can pick these leaflets up from the main reception in the
Old Building.
- Friday 26 August: The MSc welcome
presentation will take place in the morning, followed by
lunch. In the afternoon, the ever popular MSc treasure
hunt takes place!
- Tuesday 30 August: Teaching on EC451
starts. Monday 29 August is a UK Bank Holiday so there
won’t be any teaching.

LSESU
Economics Society and Rationale
|
|
|
“Rationale is the official
magazine of the LSESU Economics
Society, the largest academic society at the LSE. In
2015-2016, it was run wholly by MSc students affiliated with the
Department of Economics, and featured articles by various
undergraduate and graduate students. Apart from being editors,
various MSc students wrote articles in our issues, which are
available here.
|
|
|
|
In addition to supporting Rationale, the Economics Society holds a
variety of academic and social events. In the last year, we have
had events involving speakers such as Lord Robert Skidelsky,
Professor Ricardo Reis, and Linda Yueh. Rationale and the Economics Society are just a few
of the many ways you can enhance your academic experience as a
student at the LSE."
Pujan Modi
Editor-in-Chief,
Rationale Magazine 2015-2016
