LSE two year economics

i'm in my 3rd year (abroad) of a 4 year international management degree. seeing as i plan/hope to work in the finance sector, i have to complete a masters and i am hoping to apply to LSE.

i would just like to ask if anybody has taken and/or is currently studying in the two-year economics masters program or the MSC in finance. all they're asking for is a first and 2-1 respectively, in a related field/subject, with a proven aptitude in maths (excluding your GRE quantitative score) . i'm on track for a first next year but the maths in my course is quite limited. introduction to econometrics, corporate finance and financial accounting are the only quantitative courses i have completed. anything i can do in the next year and a half (i am thinking of a gap year) to remedy this?

any and all advice appreciated

thanks

From the top of my head, I can think:

- Take on a PostGrad Dip. in Mathematics - I think the University of London does on (UoL is the category for all London universities like LSE, UCL, etc.). It's a self-taught course though!

"The programme is suitable for graduates of any discipline who, for professional or personal reasons, wish to secure a stand-alone qualification in mathematics. It is also ideal for those who wish to undertake postgraduate work and whose first degree is in an unrelated field. It aims to provide you with a broad introduction to the techniques and subject matter of pure mathematics. As well as acquiring further skills in the techniques of calculus, linear algebra and other areas, it will prepare you for further courses in mathematics and/or related disciplines (e.g., economics, actuarial science)."

I think it demands a certain dexterity in Mathematics to begin with, so I definitely suggest you crack out the A-level syllabus and some first year Mathematics textbooks and start getting a grasp of the subject:

Just found that they also have a PostGrad diploma in Economics http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/courses/diploma-graduates/lse/diploma-graduates-economics#overview - Although it may not be as mathematical.
