Outside Options At Lse

Hi everyone,

Id really like the opinions of students already at the LSE:

which outside options are the easiest/highest success rate? which ones do people usually dislike/fail?
in which year do they count most towards your degree?
how hard are languages? do they need a great deal of outside study time?

thanks.

I heard that language outside options students tend to have a higher percentage of firsts.

Apparently PH101 Logic is the easiest option ever. Languages also get high results. The most popular (amongst Econ students i think) is AC100 Elements of Accounting and Finance which is easy but quite boring.

They count most towards your degree in the 2nd or 3rd year since each module makes up 1/9th of your final degree, whereas in the 1st year they take the average of your top 3 modules to equal 1/9th.

I'm thinking of doing either a language or EH101 The Internationalisation of Economic Growth, because it sounds really interesting and the lecturer is apparently really good.

See pdf. That said, don't follow it blindly - while some courses like PH101 are universally regarded easy, others like AC100 are a walk in the park for those with prior experience, and can be nightmarish for others.

woopdidoo - i was pretty keen on doing GV101, introduction to political science.... only 3% got 1sts, one of the lowest of all the options

Don't suppose anyone has any views on this option anyway?
