BSc Management @ LSE

hi there.
would really like to find out a bit more information about the management course at LSE, since i've been given an offer, and i feel a personal viewpoint would shed a bit more light onto what to expect in october.

so if you're currently studying on the course please reply !!!

also, if you've been given an offer; what was your offer and what AS grades did you get etc...

cheers
dan

OP

Well im def. looking 4ward 2 it.
but it does seem v. different 2 a lot of other management courses, i'd have called it management and economics almost, looking at the course content.
but hopefuly should be a **** hot, interesting course.

what r your feelings about your course?

Hopefully I'll be doing this course in October this year. To be completely honest, I haven't really looked at the course details yet... :redface:

Do you know if there's much maths in it?

is it very different between Mgmt and mgnt science? i suppose the science one is more practical in term of market research am I right? i mean kind of quantitative methods?

I'm a 2nd year Management Bsc (LSE) student - so the quick and dirty...

It is more quantitative than any other course by the same name - the second year is where it gets quite interesting

We did actually try and get the name changed to Managerial economies or Management and Economics but hit some roadblocks with the economics department as we don't do quite enough economic theory over the 3 years.

The economics is more focussed on game theory and the micro side in the second year, rather than the macro side. (much more useful stuff)

Also the stats get pretty unpleasant

What do you mean by that? Do you think its easy finding a job with the Mang. Bsc or have you a disadvantage against the Economics Bachelors??

This would have been so amazing. Any chance of there being another proposal? Surely if you choose to do economics modules as your choice then it would have enough economic theory?

It's odd because there are courses which do less econ and yet are called "XYZ and econ"... not a major point though - just put your modules on your cv.

Your modules may involve econ, but they are not actually econ modules, in the sense that they are not taught by the economics department. To the best of my knowledge, you can complete a BSc Management with only studying one econ module, which is EC102.
