A: Paper 1: Students who select MC4M7 must take the advanced Applied Regression Analysis course MY452A. Students wishing to select this option need to already have a grounding in quantitative methods and must seek approval from the Programme Director. Approval is also subject to timetabling constraints.
Progression rules:
Progression to Year 2 of the programme will be subject to the satisfactory achievement of the academic requirements of Year 1 at LSE. This means that a student who has failed and/or deferred more than 1.0-unit cannot proceed to the second year. In such instances the student must sit or resit the required assessment/s and satisfy this progression rule in order to proceed to Year 2.
Additionally, NYU requires students to pass all their credits during their first year at LSE to be able to progress to the next year of study at NYU.
