Hi, I'm French and will graduate in July from the University of Birmingham where I did a Bachelor of Mathematical Economics and Statistics. I want to pursue my studies and I received several offers but I can't make up my mind... Which is why I'm here looking for your help/advice ! I received offers from LSE and UCL in the UK and from PSE (Paris School of Economics) and Polytechnique in France all for a Master of Economics. Both masters in the UK last one year and both masters in France last two years. I don't mind studying two more years so the duration is of no concern. I would like to work in international institutions such as the OECD or European institutions in development or in the energy sector. I wonder which would be the best option for me ? Studying back in France since I will already have a UK degree ? Going to LSE because of their reputation ? Thank you for your help ! Nelson
That's a good question. They're both very well regarded, so you can only go so wrong here. In fact, if there's a cost difference I might just base the decision on that. Either way, I hope afterwards that you consider the energy sector, which produces something that people actually need, over the dreadful OECD tax cartel!
