Hi,

Congratulations on getting these offers - they are both great universities! Deciding which one to choose is a difficult process and I suggest taking some time to research both courses as your decision will ultimately shape the next 3 years of your academic life. My number one tip would be to have a look at the modules at each university as although you hold an offer for economics at both universities, the content and the way economics will be taught will differ. Also, reaching out to current and alumni students on LinkedIn who have studied these courses at the universities listed is a great way to get an honest and insightful opinion on their experiences and thoughts.

https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/undergraduate/bsc-economics - look under 'programme content' to read through the different modules.

This should hopefully help you make a decision when picking which university to attend.

Best of luck!
