MSc Economics
My formal introduction to economics was during my studies at the University of Nottingham. The ‘bigger picture’ aspect to the subject allowed my curiosity to grow and lent itself a lot to my decision to pursue a Masters at the LSE. As a distinguished institution, I was confident that the LSE would not only add more theoretical depth to my understanding of economics but also fully develop my analytical prowess.
My experience at LSE, thus far, has surpassed these expectations. This is largely due to the high level of theoretical rigour that every subject is approached with, as well as the engaging anecdotes offered by our globally renowned professors. While the intensity of the programme is one the most challenging aspects, I count it as one of the best too; its emphasis on critical thinking is one fundamental reason I was able to secure a position at an economic consultancy.
A normal day during the term comprises of several taught lectures and classes. This grants us with plentiful study time, some of which is spent working with classmates to tackle the problem sets assigned to classes. Time is also spent engaging in the abundance of non-academic opportunities. My role as Logistics Coordination for the LSE
Africa Summit, an annual event that showcases Africa’s contribution to the world, has enriched my time at LSE, while LSE’s superb location as also allowed me to explore all the intricacies offered by London, which include the vibrant food markets.
