We expect students to have very good examination results, with a first degree in economics (not business studies), with standard courses in intermediate macro and microeconomics and econometrics, and a number of advanced courses that use these as prerequisites. You should have a solid quantitative background with at least university-level mathematics courses in both advanced calculus and linear algebra, as well as courses in statistics and econometrics. If your first degree is not in economics, you should apply to take the MSc programme over two years. Programme details. The MSc in Economics degree from London School of Economics and Political Science concentrates on the core elements of economic theory and econometrics. Although extensive use is made of mathematics, this is intended as a tool in order to facilitate analysis, with the primary objective of the programme being the provision of a formal training in, and in-depth understanding of, core economic models. (If you are interested in a more mathematically demanding programme you should apply for the MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics. ) To succeed on the programme you need to prove that you can work to a high standard and have excellent analytical ability; the core economics and econometrics courses assume a good knowledge of constrained optimisation, matrix algebra and probability and statistics. Students are required to attend the September Introductory Course in Mathematics and Statistics before the main teaching programme starts. The course includes treatment of dynamic programming, continuous time dynamic optimisation, quadratic forms, Kuhn-Tucker theorem, and marginal and conditional probability distributions, amongst other topics.
