Default Social Policy and Economics
 
Hey, is anyone here studying this course?
I'm not sure whether I should apply to it or Economic History; both appeal to me equally.

How would the job prospects for this course be?

For social policy, you basically learn about how society can help people e.g. services like health care etc. You do quite a bit about civil rights also. Erm for economics at LSE they consider great interest in risk assessment. So future career prospects can be in the civil service, law (if you do the 2 yr converting), and for the economics side the financial industry , trade, hedge funds, teaching, proffesorship (research) etc.

tbh if you do economics at LSE, your not going to have much of a problem finding employment atleast 30k+

Yep Im doing it. Depends on what sort of career you want to go into. If you have no clue I recommend doing social policy and economics.

Feel free to ask more questions about the course and you can PM too
