I would say you would need to do the two year track EME programme at LSE, but otherwise yes.

Ah cool, thank you :biggrin:

I don't know where you are referring to but I know LSE Econ dept does not accept GMAT scores in lieu of GRE.

Hi. I'm planning to do an economics master in the UK but in every single university website I checked they ask for a 2:1 degree or international equivalent which apparently I don't have as my final average is 14/20 and I'm supposed to have a 16/20 according to conversion tables. My university is internationally well-ranked and I was hoping that would help me but now I'm not sure if they will even consider my application. Should I bother applying? Thanks! :smile:

Which university is it? / Which country's grading system is it?

Thanks for your reply :smile:

I'm from Nova School of Business & Economics. The grading is the Portuguese one - it goes from 0 to 20. They have good master programs and the option of doing a year abroad or going for a double degree so this is not a question of me wanting to go to another country.
I was in the University of Hull for one semester in my second year (last year) and I liked the system and the tutor-student proximity, maybe also the fact that it was easier to get good grades which I know is not going to happen in a master program.
I had no clue I would have to get at least a 16 out of 20 to get anywhere in the UK. Well, even if I knew that in my first year of uni I don't think I would have managed to get higher grades like that :/

Just wanted to know how important advanced econometrics is for MSc Economics at LSE.

I'm currently a final year at Warwick BSc Economics, and only did 1 Econometric module (core textbook: Woolridge), which was a compulsory module in year 2. I did well in the module, scoring a 76% overall.

However, I did not take any econometric modules this year, instead focusing on financial economics, mathematical economics and applied economic modules. So my main question is, will my application be affected because of this choice?

I'm going to apply for a Msc in Finance to Warwick, how many chances i have with a 2:1? Is it highly competitive?
At last, can you suggest me a middle level uni that i can apply for that is not too much competitive? (Second choice if i'll not get into warwick)
