Hey guys I'm a current first year, hopefully offers come in soon but in the meantime (and obviously when people get offers) I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the course here, accommodation and more general LSE stuff too. Best of luck!!

Hey! Offers came out really early last year - got my offer on January 12th. It seems the department is going through them later this year as I can't see any offers as yet on the spreadsheet. As for the year-abroad, the course structure was changed this year so from now on it is included within the 4 years. The current 2 destinations are UC Berkeley and Sciences Po, however they aim to add more next year. Hope this helps!

Thank you! How easy/competitive is it to go on the study abroad! Those destinations sound great.

Honestly I've heard it's quite hard lol, especially for Berkeley. You need to have very decent first year grades - I am looking to apply for the year abroad but don't know how realistic that is considering one of my January exam grades lmao. Hopefully they add some good but less competitive destinations for next year.

Thank you!! Yeah of course. Predicted grades were 4 A* in maths, further maths, economics and politics, I applied in early October and the offer is A*AA with an A* in maths. Good luck and don’t worry if you haven’t heard, I think unis often give out offers over a relatively long period of time.

How many people here do fm?

Reply 36

Do you think that someone doing FM would be advantaged in any way to someone who does not do FM?

Hi, thanks that would be really helpful!
I was wondering what the workload is like. I have heard LSE has high workload, and have also heard that LSE PPE's workload is higher than most LSE courses, is this true?
How much of the course would you say is lectures/ teaching and how much is up to you to self learn or build on by yourself?
And would you say the LSE Philosophy dept is strong in comparison to unis like UCL, Kings Warwick etc?
What do LSE PPE students think of the course and (if you know) what do other highly ranked PPE students think about their respective uni's PPE courses (do they consider some uni's research better, some uni is more quantitative which they like, more flexibility, also duration as LSE is 4 year what are your thoughts on this is the forth year worth it?)
Out of curiosity too would taking FM be advantageous over someone who does not take it, especially as the maths skills seem to be essential in this courses as it is one of the only non pure econ courses that requires A* in maths. Sorry I have alot of qs lol. Thanks!
