Taught Masters Application

Could one apply to more than one taught masters course at Oxbridge and LSE? e.g. 2 at Oxford, 3 at Cambridge, 2 at LSE.

Yes. Lots of paperwork though.

At LSE you can only apply to 2, one as 1st choice and one as 2nd.

I notice that LSE does not have a deadline for application (applications are reviewed on a rolling basis). So, let say, someone applied to 2 master courses and got rejected. Could they then apply to 2 other master courses provided that they are not full?

Global Politics is great because it's co-taught with four departments but based in Government. I have a course in Economic History and one in Development Studies. You can also take courses in International Relations.
The focus of the degree is globalization--obviously that's very important and you can look at it from any angle--cultural, political, economic (that's my focus), etc. Everyone really likes its flexibility, which is why I decided to stay in the course despite seriously considering switching to International Political Economy before the term started.

im looking forward to applying for LSEs' MSc Social Policy and Development. Please suggest if it's better than the M.Sc Comparative Social Policy offered by Oxford. I would also like to know if the programe is comparable to the Harvard MPP.
