Really torn between these 2 programs- any advise or insights will be really appreciat

I'm really torn between these 2 programs: MSc Economic Policy for Intnl Development at the LSE or MSc Economics & Intnl Financial Economics at Warwick. I got accepted to both, but i really can't decide as an intnl student.

I have 8+ yrs as an economist in research in an investment bank, but i'm really passionate about shifting to a multilateral development bank (i.e. EBRD, World Bank), as a consultant or even as an economist.

I double majored in Economics & Political Science, and i'm really passionate about emerging markets & developing countries in general.

Any advise or insights would be greatly appreciate..

Hi @Fidodukey

I am not personally doing economics but given your background, LSE’s MSc Economic Policy for International Development may be more suitable since it seems more specialised and it teaches development economics and policy.
However, before making any decisions I recommend you to attend open days for both universities and speak to the finance lecturers in more detail on what the course offers and if it aligns with your background and passion.
All the best

hey seems like i'm going for the LSE program. Thank you so much for taking the time to write back and reply to my question. I also feel like it's more specialized towards emerging markets/developing economies, and will open more doors for me if i want to work as an economist in banking or in a multilateral development bank. Thank you so much again x
