MSc Financial History at LSE

Saw this new programme for 2022 entry listed on the economic history department course page. I am an economics student who has also studied a fair bit of finance. I wish to apply to the economic history programme, and have almost completed my application. However, I can't help but wonder that given my backgorund are my chances for admission better for the financial history programme. Should I apply to both? Is it advisable to apply to two similar programmes under the same department for postgraduate study?

Hey, did you apply to the financial history programme? I applied and got waitlisted just a couple of days after my application was completed.

Have you guys heard of anyone getting an offer for the financial history course? I came across someone on another thread who was waitlisted like me, so wondering if they're waiting for all applications to come in before making decisions.

Hey guys. I did not apply to MSc Financial History. Got a conditional from MSc Economic History. Will continue to self-study finance through the CFA and the like.

Congrats!

I've heard it's a great course. How long did they take to process your application?

Thank you! I received my conditional after a month. I hope your waitlist status converts to an offer. This programme has opened for entry for the first time so I'm assuming they will be waiting for more applications to come in. Good Luck!

Hi
I applied to this programme about 10 days ago. I am just wondering what the timeframe for response is, what the background of other applicants is and was a first neccessary for an offer? I am on 67% average so a bit worried!

I doubt anyone's got an offer from the department. So we can't really say anything. I've been waiting for exactly two months now since my application was waitlisted (just 5 days after I submitted my application).

Hi
Why do you think that no one has got an offer back?

Oh it's just a blind guess since no one here knows of anyone with an offer from the department. This is going to be the very first batch of students in the course, so the department might want to wait and gather all applications before making a decision.

Hey, big congrats to you!! I'm still waitlisted (it has been over 11 weeks). When did you apply and was your application waitlisted before you received an offer?

Thank you! I applied at the end of Feb and received an offer last week. I am already an undergrad in the department so that might have helped.
